Nirmal Purja is an incredible athlete, and I find it strange that his achievements (like climbing all 8000+ meter peaks within six months) aren’t better known.

Nirmal Purja is an incredible athlete, and I find it strange that his achievements (like climbing all 8000+ meter peaks within six months) aren’t better known. He recently released a book, for those interested: https://www.nimsdai.com/beyond-possible-book https://www.nimsdai.com/beyond-possible-book
- thesilentsun 6y agoI think it's due to the style of climbing he is doing. Typically people become much more familiar with more 'alpine' style climbing (fast and lightweight). If he were climbing these peaks without fixed lines I'm sure he'd be much bigger. Not to take away from the accomplishments.
