LET'S SEE THE TRUTH:
INTEGRITY. My team and I summitted Everest and Lhotse – what should be a huge celebration and yet I now have to clear up this negativity. Anything I do is with honesty and integrity – I do not make things up. On this video you can clearly see the cut ropes, which we were warned about on Sunday by the team at Peak Promotion who were doing body retrieval further up Everest. In the video you can see many other Sherpa guides speaking about their experience and what they saw.
Below is the timeline of events. I welcome the Department of Tourism investigation into the cut ropes and hope they will find out what happened and why. As you can see I have the evidence to back up exactly what was reported. One publication, which has printed many false stories about me recently, stated the video was fake – this is totally untrue. I have faced a lot of negativity and people trying to bring me down behind the scenes since 2019 – when all I ever wanted to do was raise the name of Nepal and its Climbing community, and bring tourists to see this beautiful country. I believe we are one big mountain community – and we should be working together, not trying to bring each other down.
Sun 26th May.
Nims and team head up from C2 to C3. The manager from a different company, who were on a rescue mission to bring back bodies from higher up Everest, radios to warn the team that ropes have been cut just below the south summit above the balcony. Because of the cut ropes they had to abort their rescue mission and turn back. They warn Nims to be careful.
This is what is heard on the radio in the first video.
Mon 27th May
Nims and his team were on the summit push and found the ropes cut exactly where the Peak Promotions body retrieval team said. Despite this, it is possible to summit by fixing new ropes ( or alpine style if your team is strong ) . This is what Nims and his team did – this is what any team could have done in the situation.
They successfully summit and return back down the mountain.
Therefore, everything relayed in Nims’ first video (which is other people stating the rope had been cut,) is backed up by the second video showing the cut ropes.

It takes you through some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayas and providing insights into the unique culture of the Sherpa people. Here is a description of the Everest Base Camp Trek:

The journey typically begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small mountain town situated at a high altitude. The flight itself offers stunning views of the Himalayas, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.

From Lukla, trekkers embark on a multi-day trek through the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trail winds its way through picturesque Sherpa villages, dense forests, and rugged mountain terrain.

As trekkers ascend higher, they gradually acclimate to the altitude, with strategically placed rest days along the way to help minimize the risk of altitude sickness. These rest days also provide opportunities to explore the surrounding villages and immerse oneself in the local culture.

One of the highlights of the trek is reaching Namche Bazaar, a bustling market town and the unofficial capital of the Khumbu region. Here, trekkers can experience the vibrant atmosphere of the local markets, visit monasteries, and take in panoramic views of Everest and its neighboring peaks.

Continuing onwards, the trail leads to Tengboche, home to the famous Tengboche Monastery, where trekkers can witness traditional Buddhist ceremonies and enjoy stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

From Tengboche, the trek continues to Dingboche and Lobuche, gradually ascending higher into the Khumbu Valley. Along the way, trekkers pass through breathtaking landscapes, including glacial moraines and high-altitude valleys.

The final stretch of the trek takes trekkers to Gorak Shep, the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. From Gorak Shep, trekkers embark on a challenging hike to Everest Base Camp, where climbers prepare for their ascent to the summit.

Standing at the base of the world's tallest mountain, trekkers can soak in the awe-inspiring beauty of their surroundings, surrounded by towering peaks and vast glaciers.

After reaching Everest Base Camp, trekkers typically make the journey back to Lukla, retracing their steps through the Khumbu Valley and reflecting on the unforgettable experiences and memories created along the way.
