The team, consisting of seasoned climbers and Sherpas, reached the summit on the morning of May 14, after a challenging and meticulous climb. The expedition was led by the legendary mountaineer Mr. Valentyn Sypavin, who is a seven-time Everest summiteer, along with world record holder in ice climbing. Sypavin, known for his exceptional skill and expertise in high-altitude climbs, was accompanied by Mr. Sanu Sherpa, who has made history as the first person to summit the double 14×8,000-meter peaks. Sherpa’s unmatched experience and extraordinary accomplishments have made him a revered figure in the mountaineering world.
This remarkable team consisted of a diverse group of climbers from both Nepal and Ukraine, each contributing their skills and determination to make the summit possible.

Together, they braved the harsh conditions of Mount Everest, pushing the boundaries of human endurance and resilience.
The team’s journey to the summit of Everest was not without its challenges. The climbers encountered extreme cold, unpredictable weather, and the thin air at high altitudes. However, their determination and preparation saw them through as they made their way up the famous Southeast Ridge. Despite the difficulties, the team’s coordination and relentless spirit ensured their success in achieving the summit.
As they reached the top, a sense of accomplishment and unity filled the air. The summit marks a historic moment for the Alpomania team, representing the culmination of months of preparation, perseverance, and teamwork. The climbers’ collective effort and individual bravery will be remembered as an outstanding achievement in the annals of mountaineering history.
Today, the team will begin their descent back to Camp IV, where they will take a brief rest before continuing their journey. Tomorrow, they plan to set their sights on Lhotse (8,516 meters), the fourth-highest peak in the world, where they aim to achieve another remarkable feat in their ongoing quest to conquer the highest peaks. With the team’s unmatched experience and dedication to the sport, there is little doubt they will continue to push the limits of what is possible in the world of high-altitude climbing.
The Alpomania team’s success on Mount Everest comes at a time when climbing has become an increasingly global endeavor, with mountaineers from around the world gathering in Nepal to take on the ultimate challenge. Their success serves as an inspiration to future generations of climbers, showing that through hard work, determination, and collaboration, even the highest and most formidable of peaks can be conquered.
The team’s achievement is not only a testament to their personal commitment but also highlights the incredible teamwork and spirit required to summit the world’s tallest mountain. With each successful ascent, the Alpomania team continues to inspire others to pursue their dreams, regardless of the obstacles that may stand in their way.
As the climbers descend and prepare for their next challenge, they leave behind an inspiring legacy that speaks to the human spirit’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
