An expert mountain guide has achieved a remarkable feat by successfully leading four British climbers to the summit of Mount Everest, one of the fastest ascents on record. This thrilling ascent took place on May 21, 2025, less than a week after the climbers departed from London, showcasing innovative techniques in high-altitude climbing.
