Perched at an astonishing height of 8,848.86 meters, the Qomolangma summit is a remarkable symbol of human courage and ambition. In May 2025, Mount Qomolangma welcomed three exceptional Chinese climbing teams: Kaitu Expedition, Land Summit, and Climbing Domain.
As the "Exclusive Lighting Partner" of three teams, Fenix was proud to provide professional headlamps that illuminated each step of the climbers' extreme challenges. On May 18, Nepal time, three teams successfully reached the summit at 6:10 (Climbing Domain), 6:38 (Land Summit), and 8:04 (Kaitu Expedition). This achievement exemplifies Fenix's brand mission, "Lighting for extremes."
As the first rays of dawn approached the majestic Himalayas on May 18th, the three teams were making their final push toward the summit, navigating the challenging terrain under the cloak of night.
