On May 27, 2026, Kristin Harila reached the summit of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. The climb marked more than another Everest summit — it completed her Triple Crown: Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest in one single climbing season.

When Tenjen Lama Sherpa died in an avalanche, a couple months after setting the 14 peak world record, he left behind two sons. It was his greatest wish that these boys get the opportunities he never had: an education.

Kristin Harila has decided to stop her attempt to trek solo to the South Pole. The Norwegian Sámi mountaineer sustained a back injury early in the expedition and has been experiencing increasingly severe pain.
