ACE Team Summits Nirekha Peak Summit details Peak: Nirekha, 6,159 m, Khumbu region, Nepal Summit date and time: 7 November 2026, 9:50 am Climber: Brian Richardson Climber: Daniel Jeffery Puttkemery Climbing guides: Sona Chhiri and Sonam Chhiring Expedition leader: Prakash Sherpa Style: Hybrid climbing How the team climbed The team used a hybrid aproach on this expedition. Fixed ropes were set on some of the harder sections of the route, which made those parts safer to move through. The summit push was then done in alpine style, which means moving light and fast in a single push. Daniel Jeffery Puttkemery went up to Nirekha Base Camp with the team and did not go for the summit. We thank him for being part of the expedition. The team on the mountain Brian was guided by Sona Chhiri and Sonam Chhiring, with Prakash Sherpa leading the expedition. ACE has been guiding in the Himalayas since 2021, and our expeditions run with small teams and IFMGA-certified leadership. We congratulate Brian on his summit and thank everyone on the team.
