Man Reaches Mount Everest in Under 10 Hours, Breaking 23-Year-Record
Reported byYahoo Sports ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Tyler Andrews summited Mount Everest Base Camp-to-summit in 9 hours 55 minutes 43 seconds on May 28, 2026, breaking the previous record of 10 hours 56 minutes set by Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa in 2003 (22 years prior, not 23). Record officially ratified by Nepal authorities per his official website and Asian Trekking team.
Record is for oxygen-assisted ascent only (supplemental oxygen used). Some sources note the time awaits final official verification by Nepal's mountain authorities, though all team confirmations and GPS tracking support the claim.
