Four exhausted British men, all former military personnel, have finally reached their destination after completing a remarkable seven-day mission to scale Mount Everest. The team, who had been climbing in the Himalayas for an extended period, was awaiting their flight from Kathmandu, where they conquered the world’s highest peak.
Notably, the climbers achieved a record-breaking speed climb by utilizing xenon gas as an oxygen supplement before ascending to extreme altitudes. This unconventional method is believed to have played a significant role in their successful ascent. However, it appears that the team members are still struggling to come to terms with their remarkable achievement, and it remains to be seen whether they fully process the magnitude of what they accomplished during their expedition.
