The 2025 Mount Everest season brought record-breaking summits, tough weather, and fewer fatalities than in recent years. In this episode of All About Everest, host Pauline Reynolds Nuttall recaps the official spring 2025 climbing season, including Kami Rita Sherpa’s record 31st summit, Tashi Gyalzen Sherpa’s four ascents in two weeks, Kenton Cool’s 19th climb, Passang Dawa’s 29th, and Anja Blacha’s no-oxygen success. We also cover Tyler Andrews’ bold speed ascent attempt, the season’s challenging winds, and the five confirmed fatalities on the Nepali side.

Looking ahead, we preview the Fall 2025 season with Polish ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel’s daring attempt to ski Everest without oxygen, plus renewed intrigue after reports of Andrew “Sandy” Irvine’s foot discovery. We also spotlight new Everest books in 2025, including Enough by Melissa Arnot Reid and Climbing Mount Everest by Dalton Rains. Finally, Pauline shares updates on the podcast, now available on YouTube with a free listener community on Skool.
