“They have become the fastest to climb all 14 peaks,” Tashi, told Reuters, quoting information from the base camp.
Climbing all 14 highest peaks in a few months is a challenging feat, which is normally done by many climbers in years.
They set the fastest climbing record by beating Nirmal Purja from Nepal who completed all peaks in six months and one week in 2019.
"They have made a summit a short while ago," Madison told Reuters adding that the Norwegian woman was "extremely tough mentally and physically".
One of the sherpas, the 17-year-old Nima Rinjin Sherpa, also becomes the youngest to climb K2, Tashi said.
