Tyler “FKT King” Turns Back on Everest Bid

Wow, huge news from the Everest scene! Tyler Andrews, aka the FKT King, just called off his third speed record attempt from Base Camp to the summit. After 17 hours of solo climbing—no O2!—he made it past the Balcony but decided to turn around. Chasing Kaji Sherpa’s legendary 1998 record, Tyler’s grit is unreal. Anyone else think this rivalry for the fastest ascent is the most intense in mountaineering right now? Respect for knowing when to call it. Thoughts on what’s next for Tyler? #Everest2024 #SpeedClimbing #FKT #Sports
