Taking advantage of a brief respite in the high winds, around 54 people summited Everest from the Nepalese side on May 13, 2025. Meanwhile, dozens are staged at high camps, looking to storm the top after May 18th. On the Tibet side, look for teams to depart for the summit on May 17th, according to Jason Weiss with Climbalya. Meteorologist Chris Tomer suggests that a late May long weather window is emerging. According to the Everest Chronicle (the Nepal Ministry of Tourism has stopped providing public updates on its permit data), Everest currently has 456 foreign nationals, up from 421 the previous year. The largest contingents are from the United States and India, each with 83 climbers, followed by China with 64 and the United Kingdom with 29. Of the total climbers, 372 are men and 84 are women, spread across 45 teams. On the Tibetan side, there are 48 foreigners, along with 68 Chinese, and 100 support climbers, totaling around 200 people, according to Adrian Ballinger of Alpenglow. #everest2025
