The Summit Push
by Delimondo online on May 14, 2025
After six weeks on Everest, Miguel now stands at the edge of his lifelong dream. The weather is clear. His body is ready. The next 24 hours will define the journey.
This is it—the final push.
“This is it—the moment I’ve been dreaming of for years! Mt. Everest, the ultimate dream of every mountaineer, is now within reach. After six gruelling weeks on the mountain, the long wait is finally over.
I can hardly contain my excitement, and nerves are running high—but I’m ready to give it my all.
Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and prayers throughout this expedition—it means the world to me. Here’s to making this dream a reality. Let’s go!”
