Paul and Aaron Anderson successfully summited Mt. Everest on Friday 24 May 2024 03:05 GMT. They reached the 29,035’ summit of Mount Everest via the notorious northeast ridge from Tibet, the same route taken by Mallory and Irvine exactly 100 years ago.

By accomplishing this incredible achievement, Paul and Aaron became the first father and son duo to stand together on top of the world after ascending from Tibet. Their summit day entailed a relentless 21-hour climb up and back down from Camp 2 to take advantage of near perfect weather conditions. After a few days of recovery and celebration in Nepal, the team has safely returned to the UK.

The father and son team are aiming to raise enough money to fund two new Admiral Nurses – specialist dementia nurses who offer life-changing support to families affected by all forms of dementia.

Paul and Aaron are taking on the challenge in honour of Paul’s mother, who has vascular dementia and lives in a care home in Hoylake on the Wirral. Having witnessed the daily challenges of living with dementia, they want to ensure that more people with the diagnosis and their families can access the support of an Admiral Nurse in the local area.

The pair have extensive climbing experience in the UK and Europe. They have both previously visited the Everest region in Nepal, climbing Mera Peak (6,476m) and reaching the North Col on Everest at 7,100m as part of a team that set a Guinness World Record for the highest dinner party in the world.

The pair climbed with the highly experienced Sherpa Guiding Company SKA Adventures https://www.ska-adventures.com/ led by Mr. Nima Kanchha Sherpa who has been a high altitude climbing guide for the last 18 years, summiting Everest and other 8,000m peaks including Cho You (8,201m), and Manaslu (8,156m).
