Abstract
Reports of mountaineering in the greater ranges in 2025 include a new record climbing Everest from sea level to summit in just under four days. A commentary on a British team using xenon gas to acclimate before leaving the United Kingdom for Everest. A partial new route on the Diamir, one of Nanga Parbat’s three gigantic faces. A team of Canadian and Australian climbers reach the summit of Ultar Sar in the Karakoram Range. Czech mountaineers achieve the southeast face of Hunza Peak in the Karakoram. Kate Kelleghan and Laura Pineau complete the first all-female Triple Crown in Yosemite National Park—El Capitan, Mount Watkins, and Half Dome in less than 24 hours. In June, Alaskan Balin Miller solos the Slovak Direct on Denali. Miller sadly died in a rappel accident on El Capitan in October. Three climbers complete a new route on the south face of Mount Providence.
