“Successful summit on the Mt Annapurna sends a positive vibe to the world climbers who are attempting to climb other mountains as the mountaineering sector faced back-to-back disasters in the last two years,” Gyanendra Shrestha, a Department of Tourism official said. One interesting story of this climb is about Spanish climber Carlos Soria Fontan. At an age of 77 he became the oldest person to climb the Mt Annapurna (8,091 m).

According to Pemba Sherpa, Manager at the Seven Summit Treks, after nearly 10 hours of struggle in the higher camps, the 77-year-old Spaniard and other 29 climbers reached the summit at around 10:00am.

Bulgarian zoologist and climber Boyan Petrov Petrov was first to reach the summit while others made it to the top of the mountain a few hours later.

The DoT has issued climbing permits to two expedition teams for the Mt Annapurna by charging USD 1,800 from each foreign climber this season while Japanese climber Nobukazu Kuriki also headed to the Mt Annapurna in his solo attempt to climb the mountain from the difficult southwest face.
