Jason Black Mountaineering Team Summit Everest (8,848.86 m)

 

“One mountain. One team. One historic achievement for Ireland and Nepal.”

We are incredibly proud to announce the successful summit of Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m) by the Irish team of Jason Black Mountaineering marking the first full Irish team in more than two decades to stand atop the world’s highest mountain.

Summit Date: 20 May 2026

Summit Time: 3:15 AM (Nepal Time)


Everest Summiters – Spring 2026:

 

  • Mr. Adam Thomas Sweeny Youngest Irish climber to summit Everest
  • Mr. Eanna McGowan
  • Mr. Padraig O’Hora 
  • Mr. Milan Sherpa 
  • Mr. Temba Sherpa 
  • Mr. Nang Tenji Sherpa 

 

After weeks of disciplined training, strategic preparation, and vital acclimatization through Lobuche East Peak (6,119 m), the team successfully stood on top of the world, a defining milestone not only for these climbers but also for the Irish mountaineering community and the entire 8K Expeditions family.

This summit is a powerful reflection of courage, teamwork, resilience, and the strong bond between Ireland and Nepal in the high Himalayas.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the entire summit team and our deepest gratitude to the dedicated Sherpa team whose unmatched strength, experience and commitment made this historic achievement possible.

“The summit of Everest is never given it is earned.”

The team is now safely descending toward the lower camps. We wish everyone a safe and successful return to Base Camp. 

The summit is only halfway, a safe descent is the true success of every expedition.
