Nims Purja aims to complete seven summits and a 14-peak hat-trick for charity

Pioneering mountaineer Nims Purja has set his sights on a challenging new endeavor: becoming the first person to ever complete all 14 Peaks for the third time.

To break the previous record, he plans to finish the other 8,000-meter mountains this year. Additionally, the charitable Nimsdai Foundation will get 100% of all donations and sponsorships.

A charity mountaineering first

Nims established the nonprofit Nimsdai Foundation in 2022 with the goal of “Change Lives, by Redefining What is Possible.” The Foundation empowers communities and offers life-altering possibilities through initiatives that Inspire, Educate, and Protect. Examples of these initiatives include the construction of a new Porter’s House on the Everest Base Camp trail and grants for rehabilitative veterans to climb.

The goal of the new record, according to Nims Purja’s statement, is to raise £1,138,000 in sponsorship and donations, which is the total elevation in feet of the accomplished hat trick of summits. The Nimsdai Foundation will be able to carry out vital projects that will change lives thanks to these donations.

“I am standing on the brink of a dream this year, one that has been constructed via the unrelenting pursuit of the impossibly difficult. I’m trying to accomplish a hat trick of summits this year, reaching the top 14 peaks over 8000 meters for the third time. Nims, a former Gurkha and member of the UK Special Force, stated, “I will be the only person to complete the 14 Peaks three times and the 7 Summits as well, making this hat-trick a world first.”

However, I am aware that no mountain can ever be fully climbed by one person. I was astounded by the incredible support from people and companies like yours that enabled me to realize my dream of climbing the 14 highest peaks in the world as part of Project Possible in 2019.

Now that I’m working toward this new objective and trying to finish this trick, I’m thinking back on the love and support you’ve always given me. I’m asking for your assistance once more as I try this new task. But this time, I’m asking for your help with the Nimsdai Foundation, not for myself.

In addition to leading the Nepalese team that achieved the first K2 summit in winter in January 2021, Nims is well-known for having completed the 14 Peaks above 8,000m in 6 months and 6 days in 2019. In just two years, four months, and twenty-eight days, he became the fastest person to reach the top of the 14 peaks without the need for additional oxygen last year. By doing this, Nims was able to finish the 14 peaks in just 5 years, 5 months, and 12 days (April 23, 2019, to October 4, 2024), both with and without additional oxygen.

According to Nims, the challenge will be to leave a lasting legacy in the mountains through the efforts of the Nimsdai Foundation with the help of the climbing community, sponsors, and supporters.

“With your help and support of the Nimsdai Foundation, I am confident that every step I take up the mountains will inspire me,” he continued. Your contribution will help us achieve this challenging fundraising goal and will sustain our education initiatives for years to come, as well as initiatives like the Big Mountain Clean Up. Your kindness will have a genuine impact on people who are most in need and create a long-lasting change.

“I am aware that the road ahead will not be simple—ascending these mountains and overcoming these challenging obstacles are never without their trials. But when we band together, we can do anything. Together, let’s demonstrate to the world that no mountain is too high,” he continued.
