They just did it yesterday so i think it will be made later on. This is the hard core evidence of man vs geography and eventually man will conquer geography/

There is still other mountain within Himalaya range that remain unsummited, although the primary challenge is logistical & temperature acclimatization.

I just hope they didn't forget to warming up their electronics, Temperature gradient is always tricky for all kind of electronics
