At approximately 10:50 this morning,Team No Limits climbing Sirdar, Apa Sherpa. This success for Apa pushes his world record over the top. Apa deserves the utmost respect and while unrecognized by many, Apa Sherpa is one of the world's top athletes. In addition, TNL affiliated climbers: MJ Kim, Ang Passang Sherpa, and Pasang Temba Sherpa made it to the summit of Mount Everest. Our congratulations to each of these climbers for their success. This is the last of the Seven Summits for Mr. Kim - and for the amazing, Apa Sherpa, a sixteenth summit of Mount Everest. The climbing group started much larger last night, but slowly diminished as the mountain began to show why few have the privilege of standing on her summit.

May God be with these men as they descend to Base Camp
