@editkephoto He really inspired me to climb my own mountain. 14 Peaks & MountainQueen will forever be documentaries that inspires a generation of mountain climbers

[Banele Benjamin Bennett @bennett_banele]

His final message was never about conquering mountains. It was about conquering ourselves.

“The mission shifts. The compass holds.”

He reminded us that the greatest competition is the person we were yesterday, that purpose matters more than applause, and that no summit should ever be taken for granted.

Tragically, the mountains he loved claimed him in an avalanche. He chased impossible dreams with extraordinary courage, inspiring millions to believe that their own mountains could be climbed.

Rest in peace, Nims. Your journey may have ended on the mountain, but your legacy will continue to lift others to greater heights.

[Nirmal Purja MBE @nimsdai]

THE MISSION SHIFTS. THE COMPASS HOLDS.

This was never the plan. Initially, the plan was to climb just G2. But just before setting off for Pakistan, I ran the numbers on my 8000m summits. That’s when it hit me: if I tick off Broad Peak whilst I’m here , only one remains “Cho Oyu.” Then I become the FIRST person in history to climb all 14 eight-thousanders twice. Without oxygen.

This wasn’t planned. The Hattrick project was the focus because it carried a bigger mission. But opportunities don’t scream: they whisper to those already working in silence.

Here’s the secret I’ve carried through every expedition: I never competed with anyone else. My only battle was against the man I was yesterday. Every single day, pushing my own limits. Because the moment you look sideways: at what others are doing, saying, achieving: you drift off your compass. Your heading is YOURS. Guard it fiercely.

They criticized me when I climbed the 14 without O’s during Project Possible. If you haven’t seen what that took, watch 14 Peaks on Netflix. That film is the unfiltered truth. I was there doing multiple rescues of climbers left behind by other expeditions, raising the funds myself, leading from the front, fixing our own lines, dealing with the Shishapangma permit with China, being at hospitals for my mum’s operation and so much more. And now? Now I’m heading for the double without oxygen: triple in total. The noise hasn’t stopped. I just stopped listening.

To those who still doubt: I already climbed all 5 of Pakistan’s 8000ers in just 26 days. Leading. Guiding. Without oxygen. Breaking the records of those who broke mine with oxygen. The receipts are there.

Broad Peak, I ask for nothing but safe passage up and back down. I take zero mountains for granted. Not one. The moment my foot leaves basecamp, it’s 100%. Always has been. Always will be.

This one is dedicated to everyone who carried me here. Supporters. Critics. All of you. Without both sides, there is no fire. So thank you genuinely.

My purpose has never been about me. It’s about what I represent. It’s about showing YOU that your own mountains—whatever they are—are climbable.

[Guinness World Records @GWR]

Guinness World Records is saddened to learn of the passing of Nirmal “Nims” Purja, following an avalanche in Pakistan that also claimed the lives of nine other climbers.

Nims held multiple Guinness World Records titles including the most true-summit ascents of the 8,000ers (49 as of Sept 2025) and was the oldest person to climb Everest-Lhotse without supplementary oxygen (male).

Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday said: “Nims continually pushed the limits of what the human body is capable of, pioneering a form of mountaineering that challenged him as well as the entire climbing community.

“His commitment to championing the incredible contribution made by the Sherpa guides and porters will also be a lasting legacy.”

[Banele Benjamin Bennett @bennett_banele]

What a human being. This man was an inspiration to mountain climbing. The first to summit the 14 highest peaks without any sponsorship!!! The team took one of the most famous picture of “Everest Traffic” climbers in line to summit Everest!!

[Amogh @guyfromhills]

There are only 14 mountains in the world that rise above 8,000 metres. Nirmal "Nimsdai" Purja summited every one of them in just 6 months and 6 days during Project Possible, achieving what many believed was impossible.
Today, the world has lost a legend.💔

[Banele Benjamin Bennett @bennett_banele]

Some men climb mountains. Legends become part of them. Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja didn’t just conquer the world’s highest peaks—he inspired millions to believe that the impossible is only a starting point. Though the mountains have claimed one of their greatest sons, they can never silence the legacy he leaves behind.
Rest in peace, Nims. Your spirit will forever echo through the Himalayas, and every summit reached will carry a piece of your story. 🏔️🕊️

@MuziDee My instinct tells me he is really not retaining that position. The issue of Folarin Balogun’s red card during the World Cup is a massive thorn to his integrity.
