The summit push began on September 19. The team ascended through Camp 1 and Camp 2 on the 20th, reached Camp 3 on the 21st, and arrived at Camp 4 on the 22nd. Finally, the summit of Manaslu was within reach.
On September 21, a separate group of three climbers—Ms. Anna Katharina Ott from Germany, Mr. Ngim Dorjee Sherpa, and Mr. Lakpa Tendi Sherpa—successfully reached the summit at 12:30 PM. They had climbed from Manaslu Base Camp on September 19, pushing directly to the summit without stopping at Camp 4. Meanwhile, the larger Imagine Nepal group aimed for their summit attempt on September 23.
Warm congratulations to all climbers of the Manaslu Expedition 2025! We wish every team a safe descent back to Manaslu Base Camp. Special thanks to outdoor brand Pelliot, whose boots, tents, and jackets provided essential support in extreme high-altitude conditions.
