An extraordinary feat, the one signed by the Nepalese mountaineer in the Himalayan mountains.

Nirmal Purja is already in history, only 36 years old, after completing the 11th climb of an eight thousand in just 3 months and 3 days, always using oxygen.
There are therefore only three peaks to tame all 14 of the 8000s, with Manaslu (8163 m), Shinshapangma (8027) and Cho Oyu (8188) scheduled for the autumn, to sign a legendary thread in just 7 months. Reinhold Messner, the first to succeed (without oxygen), took 16 years from 1970 to 1986.
In series, Purja reached the following peaks: April 23 Annapurna (8091 m), May 12 Dhaulagiri (8167), May 15 Kanchenjunga (8586), May 22 Everest (8848), May 22 Lhotse (8516), May 24 Makalu ( 8481), 3 July Nanga Parbat (8125), 15 July Gasherbrum 1 (8080), 18 July Gasherbrum 2 (8035), 24 July K2 (8614), 26 July Broad Peak (8051).
