But from the very first day, every minute of my trip I was surprised with SST! It was the most comfortable mountaineering in my life! They have great logistics. They are very flexible and reliable. They can manage any problem you can encounter! My route took place in deserted places, so it wasn't very easy to get everything ready for our coming a day earlier when I decided to do a 2-day route in one, but somehow they always did the impossible.

Special thanks to my climbing guide Ram Kaji and Porter Chhiring. Nice guys, always helpful with every tiny thing, trying to be invisible, but the job they did can be hardly overestimated, it was just huge!

The high priority of SST is your comfort and everyone in the company is doing his best. 

They exceed all expectations! Highly recommend.

Mardi Himal trek. A wonderful trek ideal even for beginners. Wonderful views, great facilities. Our choice for this trek was through our honeymoon. Seven Summit Treks organized and prepared everything. Sherpa Tashi and porter Nima were great. We could talk, they always prepared everything. I have been in contact with the guys from Seven Summit Treks since the expedition to Makalu and I know that I can rely on them. Thank you for your help and wonderful experience. And see you at the next event.

Our first co-operation was in 2013 in Pakistan with Arnold Coster expeditions and Sevensummittreks towards the Gasherbrum. After that, we continued to work together on expeditions towards Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu (winter), and AmaDablam. For me, SST is a very professional company with a lot of experience and knowledge. We have full confidence in their capabilities and appreciate their flexibility. I would like to thank them for all those years of cooperation and I look forwards to new adventures in Nepal and Pakistan.

I have been on many expeditions in Nepal over the years, most of them I organized with friends and used Seven Summit Treks only for their base camp services with great service! This year none of my friends were available to climb in Nepal in the Autumn season so I contacted SST and decided to sign up for the Mera Peak and Baruntse expedition. SST organized everything and provide me with a personal climbing Sherpa for the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip, everything was taken care of by SST, including lodging, tea houses, and meals. At Baruntse base camp I had a nice private tent and the cook and kitchen staff always had smiles and cooked great meals. My Sherpa (Jangbu) was great and we became close friends and climbing partners. Jangbu was always there with a smile, a very strong climber, always wanting to help in any way he could. There was plenty of time to decide how and when we were going to make a summit push based on the weather. We had fantastic summit days on both peaks and finished the trip crossing the Amphu Labste pass into the Khumbu Valley staying each night in nice lodges with all meals included. I would highly recommend using SST for any expedition that you want to go on. Thank you Seven Summit Treks for a great trip and your attention to detail!!

Seven Summits – The Complete Guide (With Comparison Table)

Mountains , Seven Summits

Seven Summits is a coveted mountaineering challenge that sees climbers tackle some of the world’s tallest mountains in order to reach the highest peaks located on each of the seven continents.  

Despite being no small feat, over the years there has been a rise in popularity of this prestigious challenge as an increasing number of people make an attempt the reach the peaks. 

There is some contention as to which summits are part of the list due to differing interpretations of the boundaries of the continents, so for clarification purposes, we have based our guide on Messner’s version of the 7 summits as this uses Puncak Jaya rather than the lower elevated Kosciuszko, as Australasia’s highest summit. 

Seven Summits - Comparison Table

7 summits - detailed overview, 1. mount everest (8,848m/29,028.9ft).

As the highest mountain on earth and head of the Eight Thousanders , reaching the summit of Mount Everest is often considered to be the ultimate achievement for mountaineers and because of the cost of an Everest expedition as well as the lengthy duration, it is for many people a once in a lifetime experience. 

Everest is situated in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas on the border of Nepal and Tibet and even though there are a number of recognised routes to the summit, the two most common approaches to the mountain begin from Nepal in the South, and Tibet in the North. 

The South Col route which takes the South East Ridge to the summit is known as the standard route. Most tour operators opt to use this route as the Base Camp is very well established and allows climbers access to all the facilities and comforts that it has to offer. It is also technically easier than the North Col route. 

The North Col route takes the North East Ridge to the summit is increasing in popularity but remains a little less travelled as the weather conditions tend to be a bit tougher than the South Col route and the Base Camps are not as equipped as the south side.    

Mount Everest is best climbed in the spring months of April to May. Though summer may seem the obvious choice, it is monsoon season so heavy rain can hinder your progress. 

1st Summit, Success Rates & Deaths

• First recorded successful summit made in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay
• Approximately 800 people attempt the summit every year and of those roughly 60% successfully summit
• From 1953 to date there have been 297 deaths recorded on Everest. (Find more facts about Mt Everest here)

Costs, Technicalities and Length

• Costs vary depending on the guide company you use and can range from US$30,000 upwards to US$80,000
• Technical at points - must be able to use crampons , an ascender, be able to rappel with a backpack on, and be in top physical shape.  Previous high altitude climbs highly recommended
• Usually a 2-month expedition

If you are attempting the 7 summits challenge then consider leaving Mount Everest until the end.  It is best done with prior high altitude experience and you will build up essential mountaineering skills by attempting the other summits beforehand.

2. Mount Aconcagua (6,961m/22,837ft)

In order of elevation, Aconcagua is number two on the 7 summits list and is the highest peak outside of Asia as well as the highest in the Southern Hemisphere. It is located in the Andes mountain range of Argentina .

Aconcagua is often considered to be one of the easiest climbing peaks for its height as it is not particularly technical and because of this is a popular mountain to climb. The altitude is often underestimated though and care should be taken to acclimatize properly. 

There are three main routes up Aconcagua , the most popular being the Normal Route which takes the North West Ridge to the top. It is a non-technical, ‘trekking’ route and is popular with the guide companies. 

The Polish Traverse Route is also non-technical but you are more likely to need to use crampons and an ice axe than on the Normal Route. It is also slightly longer than the Normal Route. 

Not to be confused with the Polish Traverse Route, the Polish Glacier Route is substantially more technical and requires mountaineering skills to ascend so is more suited to experienced climbers who are proficient with equipment such as an ice axe and short rope.  

Climbing season for Aconcagua is during the summer months from 15 th  November through to 31 st March every year, with the peak times being from mid-December to the end of January.

• Matthias Zurbriggen made the first recorded successful summit in 1897 via the Normal Route.
• An average of 3,500 people attempt the summit every year but only about 40% reach the top
• Aconcagua has earned itself the nickname of ‘Mountain of Death’ with an average of three deaths per year
• You can expect an expedition to cost anything from about US$3,500 to US$5,000 or more
• Knowing how to use crampons and an ice axe is essential and you should be in top physical shape with an excellent level of aerobic fitness
• Aconcagua expeditions typically take just less than three weeks

Aconcagua is often used as a warm up in the 7 summits challenge. Consider tackling this one or Mount Elbrus, after summiting Kilimanjaro.

3. Denali (6,194m/20,310ft)

Number three on the 7 summits list in terms of elevation is Denali . This impressive mountain is situated in the Alaska Range of mountains in the US state of Alaska . It is the main feature of the Denali National Park and its proximity to the Arctic Circle means that sub-zero temperatures and extreme cold weather are to be expected year round.

The West Buttress Route is the most commonly used path to the summit of Denali as it is the least technical and has significant infrastructure set up along the way in terms of Base Camps and medical evacuation availability. 

Muldrow Glacier Route is probably equal in terms of technicality to the West Buttress Route but is not quite as popular as climbers have to hike in instead of fly to Base Camp and so is generally a longer expedition. 

The West Rib Route is a step up in difficulty from the West Buttress route as it is considerably steeper, and as there is a greater depth of snow to get through the risk of an avalanche is more prominent.

It diverges from the West Buttress route at Ski Hill point and then takes the North East fork of the glacier to reach the summit.

The most difficult route along Cassin Ridge is reserved for very experienced climbers as in addition to facing adverse and extreme weather conditions like all the routes on Denali, it is a technical climb and requires sustained periods of rock and ice climbing at altitude. 

Denali is best attempted in the early summer months from May through to July.

• The first verified ascent to Denali’s summit was made in 1913 by climbers Hudson Stuck, Harry Karstens, Walter Harper, and Robert Tatum.
• Just over 1,000 people attempt the summit each year and of those, approximately half reach the peak.
• An average of 3 people a year perish on Denali
• Costs range from US$6,500 upwards to US$10,500
• Use of crampons and mountaineering equipment is required and skill in glacier travel and crevasse rescue is essential for this climb
• Denali is usually attempted over 3 weeks as extra days are generally allowed to accommodate bad weather conditions

It is advisable to prepare for Denali by climbing Mount Elbrus and Aconcagua beforehand to be adequately prepared.    

4. Kilimanjaro (5,895m/19,341ft)

Due to the non-technical nature and only moderate difficulty of the climb, the iconic Kilimanjaro is often one of the first extreme-altitude mountains that climbers attempt.

The allure of being one of the 7 summits combined with its location in beautiful Africa makes Kilimanjaro a very popular mountain indeed.  The extreme altitude should not be ignored but with adequate preparation, Kilimanjaro is very 'summitable'. 

Kilimanjaro has a multitude of routes that access the summit, but there are five which are consistently used and considered to be the most popular.  

These are Machame (the most popular), Lemosho , Rongai , Northern Circuit, and Marangu Routes . Choosing a route to the summit generally depends on how much time you want to spend on the expedition, how much other foot traffic you want to encounter, and if you want to overnight in hut accommodation instead of camping over the expedition.

Due to its proximity to the equator, Kilimanjaro experiences relatively stable weather and can be climbed year round. Generally, it is best to climb Kilimanjaro between June and September and it is best to avoid the rainy season of April and May, as well as November.

• Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller made the first recorded successful summit  in 1889
• Approximately 35,000 people hit the slopes of Kilimanjaro each year and the summit success rates increase as the number of days on the expedition increases with 8-day trips seeing an average success rate of 85%
• It is estimated that there are between 3 and 7 deaths per year on the mountain
• Costs can range upwards from about US$3,000 to US$6,000
• Because you spend a good portion of the day hiking up increasing altitudes, you need to be in good physical condition to summit Kilimanjaro
• Though it is better to join one of the longer 7 or 8-day expeditions, the summit can be reached on a 5-day expedition

Kilimanjaro is a great mountain to begin your 7 summit challenge.

5. Mount Elbrus (5,642m/18,510ft)

Mount Elbrus is number five in elevation on the 7 summits list. It also makes it on to the World's 7 Volcanic Summits list.

It is based the Caucasus Mountain Range in Southern Russia. Though there is some contention as to how the Caucasus Mountains are distributed between Europe and Asia, Elbrus lies north of the Caucasus watershed which is deemed - by most of the relevant authorities - to be the borderline between the two.

Elbrus has two summits, both of which are dormant volcanic domes.  The west summit is the taller of the two and is the one that puts Elbrus on the map of the 7 summits.  

There are two main approaches to the summit of Elbrus, the South Side approach and the North Side approach. 

The South Side approach sees a much greater summit success rate in comparison as there is better infrastructure along the route and it is not quite as demanding so is generally the favoured route to reach the summit.  

The North Side involves a glacier crossing so climbers should be comfortable with short rope techniques and crevasse rescue.

The main climbing season   on Elbrus is during the summer months from June to September with peak season in July. 

• First successful ascent to the west summit of Elbrus was in 1874 by a British expedition comprising of F. Crauford Grove, Frederick Gardner, Horace Walker, and Peter Knubel
• The summit success rate for the South Side approach is estimated to be as high as 80 -90% whilst the North Side is much lower at about 50%
• Due to the great number of people who climb the mountain each year, there are as many as 25 deaths annually. These are generally the result of bad weather conditions or altitude sickness
• Cost wise it can be as little as US$1,000 and range upwards to US$6,000 or so
• Basic mountaineering skills along with a solid aerobic fitness level is a must
• A typical expedition on Mount Elbrus will take approximately a week

Mount Elbrus and Aconcagua are often done early on in the 7 summits challenge. Consider tackling this one before moving on to Denali and Mount Vinson.

6. Mount Vinson (4,892m/16,050 ft)

Vinson Massif is the highest peak in Antarctica . It is based in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains and is the sixth highest of the 7 summits.

Due to its isolated location, it is the ‘youngest' of the 7 summits as it was the last one to be successfully summited, and the popularity of climbing this mountain is mainly attributed to its status as one of them. 

The remote location and stark polar landscape make for a surreal and breath-taking expedition to the summit. For most people, the Mount Vinson expedition will certainly be one of the most remote climbs that they undertake. 

While the wilderness is truly spectacular the weather is often unpredictable and extra days are usually incorporated into an expedition to allow for the possible bad weather which may delay flights or restrict movement out of base camps.

The majority of climbs go via the western side of the massif from the Branscomb Glacier and make use of the various base camps along the route.

The best time to climb Mount Vinson is in the summer months between December and January when temperatures are slightly warmer and there are long sunlight hours. 

• The first recorded ascent to Mount Vinson’s summit was in 1966 by an American team led by Nicholas Clinch
• Only about 1,200 people have climbed Mount Vinson
• There have not been any recorded deaths on the mountain
• Because of the logistics involved in getting there, it is one of the more expensive climbs and can easily cost between US$30,000 up to US$50,000
• Mount Vinson is not particularly technical though you must have good basic mountaineering skills. More important is to take care of your body in the extreme weather conditions
• Usually, an expedition will be around three weeks but depending on the favourability of the weather conditions it can take more or less time

Mount Vinson is best done later on in the challenge as a precursor to Mount Everest. By now you should be better-prepared skills wise to tackle Everest but the harsh weather conditions do make Vinson challenging too.

7. Carstensz Pyramid / Puncak Jaya (4,884m/16,024ft)

The Carstensz Pyramid, also known as Puncak Jaya is the lowest elevated mountain of the 7 summits on the Messner version list.  It is the highest summit of Mount Carstensz in the Sudirman Range of the western central highlands of Papua Province in Indonesia. 

The Bass version of the 7 summits includes Mount Kosciuszko, which is located in Australia as the final summit.  But as this is lower than Carstensz and excludes the rest of Australasia in the running we have based our list on the Messner version.  It is to be noted though that most climbers will attempt both of these summits to make sure that they have covered all bases of the challenge.

The Carstensz Pyramid rises up from an exotic rainforest landscape to expose a mountaintop covered with glaciers.  It is unique in the sense that it is the only one of the 7 summits that requires technical rock climbing skills as opposed to the alpine mountaineering skills required on the other summits.

There is one main route to the summit which is known as the Normal Route or Harrer’s Route.  Most guide companies will fly their clients into Base Camp on a helicopter and from Base Camp, it is usually a 12 – 14 hour round trip to the summit.  Alternatively, climbers can hike in from Ilaga to Base Camp though this is the less favoured option of the two due to constant rainfall on the trek through the rainforest to the Base Camp.

Due to its proximity to the equator, the weather is relatively stable throughout the year and when to climb Carstensz Pyramid generally relies on when your guide company is taking the expedition.

• Carstensz Pyramid was successfully summited for the first time in 1962 by Heinrich Harrer, Philip Temple, Russell Kippax, and Albertus Huizenga
• Costs average at about US$23,000 for the helicopter option but are less if trekking in
• Rock climbing skills are essential and Carstensz is known to be a technical climb.  Having good upper body strength is a must, as well as a good overall fitness
• The expedition is generally a week for the helicopter option as several days are spent acclimatising and resting before the summit day

Carstensz Pyramid is often done as the final summit of the challenge in conjunction with the Mount Kosciuszko hike to cover bases.

Three Poles Challenge

Just in case conquering the 7 summits is not quite adventurous enough, there is also the Three Poles Challenge which sees adventurers reach the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest.

Considering the remoteness of each of the poles and the close proximity of the South Pole when on the Mount Vinson expedition, the Three Poles Challenge is often seen as an extra title to bag, leaving just the North Pole as the final marker point.

Seven Summits – Highest Mountain on Each Continent

Climbing the seven summits: the world’s highest mountains by continent..

The Seven Summits challenge is a mountaineering feat that beckons adventurers from around the globe to conquer the highest peak on each of the seven continents. From the frosty peaks of Antarctica to the iconic Everest in Asia, these represent the pinnacle of achievement in the world of high-altitude mountaineering. In this article, we will explore each of the Seven Summits, delving into their unique challenges, rich histories, and the thrill that comes with standing on top of the world.

1. Mount Everest – Asia (8,848 meters / 29,029 feet):

No discussion about the Seven Summits is complete without the mention of Mount Everest. Standing tall at 8,848 meters above sea level, Everest is the highest peak in the world and the crown jewel of the Himalayas. The journey to its summit, however, is not for the faint-hearted. Climbers must navigate treacherous icefalls, brave unpredictable weather, and battle altitude sickness. The allure of Everest’s summit has attracted climbers since the early 20th century, with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay successfully reaching the top in 1953.

2. Aconcagua – South America (6,961 meters / 22,837 feet):

Moving to South America, Aconcagua stands as the highest peak in the Andes mountain range. Situated in Argentina, Aconcagua offers climbers a non-technical ascent compared to Everest, making it an appealing challenge for those seeking high-altitude experience without the technical difficulties. Despite its relative accessibility, climbers must still contend with extreme weather conditions and altitude-related challenges.

3. Denali – North America (6,190 meters / 20,310 feet):

Formerly known as Mount McKinley, Denali is the highest peak in North America and is located in Alaska, USA. Climbers tackling Denali face harsh Arctic conditions, including severe cold and fierce winds. The climb requires a combination of technical skills and physical endurance, making it a formidable challenge. Denali’s isolation and unpredictable weather contribute to its reputation as one of the most challenging of the Seven Summits.

4. Kilimanjaro – Africa (5,895 meters / 19,341 feet):

Africa’s contribution to the Seven Summits, Kilimanjaro, is a freestanding volcanic massif located in Tanzania. Unlike many of its counterparts, Kilimanjaro is not a technical climb, making it accessible to a wide range of climbers. Its slopes offer a unique journey through various ecosystems, from lush rainforests to alpine deserts. The Roof of Africa, as Kilimanjaro is often called, attracts adventurers seeking a challenging high-altitude experience with a cultural and ecological twist.

5. Mount Elbrus – Europe (5,642 meters / 18,510 feet):

Situated in the Caucasus mountain range in Russia, Mount Elbrus stands as the highest peak in Europe. Elbrus, a dormant volcano, provides a less demanding climb compared to some of the other Seven Summits. However, climbers must still contend with unpredictable weather conditions and significant altitude challenges. The journey up Elbrus offers stunning views of the surrounding Caucasus region.

6. Vinson Massif – Antarctica (4,892 meters / 16,050 feet):

The most remote of the Seven Summits, Vinson Massif is located in the remote Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica. Climbing Vinson requires a specialized expedition due to its extreme isolation and harsh climate. The journey to its summit involves traversing vast icy landscapes, making it a unique and challenging experience for those aiming to complete the Seven Summits.

7. Puncak Jaya (Carstensz Pyramid) – Oceania (4,884 meters / 16,024 feet):

Completing the Seven Summits list is Puncak Jaya, also known as Carstensz Pyramid, located in Papua Province, Indonesia. Carstensz Pyramid is the highest peak in Oceania and the only one of the Seven Summits located in the southern hemisphere. Climbers face a combination of technical rock climbing and unpredictable weather conditions in the high-altitude environment.

What inspired the concept of the Seven Summits challenge?

The Seven Summits challenge was first proposed by businessman and mountaineer Richard Bass in 1985. Bass aimed to create a mountaineering challenge that would push climbers to conquer the highest peak on each continent, showcasing a diverse range of landscapes and climbing conditions.

Is the Seven Summits challenge only for professional climbers?

While the Seven Summits challenge is undoubtedly a significant undertaking, it is not exclusively reserved for professional climbers. Many adventurers with varying levels of mountaineering experience have successfully completed the challenge. However, adequate preparation, physical fitness, and mountaineering skills are essential.

Which summit is considered the most challenging of the Seven Summits?

Mount Everest is often regarded as the most challenging summit due to its extreme altitude, technical difficulty, and unpredictable weather. Denali and Vinson Massif also pose considerable challenges, making the choice of the most difficult summit subjective and dependent on individual climbing experiences.

How long does it take to complete the Seven Summits challenge?

The time required to complete the Seven Summits challenge varies based on individual climbers’ schedules, experience, and availability of resources. Some climbers aim to complete the challenge in a single year, while others may spread it out over several years. The overall duration depends on factors such as weather conditions, logistical arrangements, and personal preferences.

Are there age restrictions for attempting the Seven Summits?

There is no strict age limit for attempting the Seven Summits, as physical fitness and mountaineering experience are more critical factors. However, climbers should be in excellent health and undergo thorough medical evaluations before embarking on such a demanding adventure. Many climbers of varying ages have successfully completed the challenge.

How can one prepare for the Seven Summits challenge?

Preparation for the Seven Summits challenge involves a combination of physical conditioning, technical skill development, and mental readiness. Climbers typically engage in high-altitude training, strength and endurance exercises, and gain experience in various climbing conditions. Seeking guidance from experienced mountaineers and hiring professional guides for specific summits is also recommended.

What is the book 7 Summits about?

An adventure novel detailing the true story of two millionaire businessmen racing to be the first to scale the seven summits. This is an easy read and the climbing accounts are engaging, particularly the Vinson ascent and the final Everest expedition.

Which is harder Denali or Aconcagua?

Denali is a much harder endeavor (even on the western buttress route – the easiest route and only route which I will comment on). I also only comment on the “Normal Route” on Aconcagua.

Which of the 7 summits is easiest?

Although Kilimanjaro is a high-altitude trek – and takes at least six days to complete – it is by far the easiest of the Seven Summits. The climb is a pretty steady trek, and requires no ropes, rock climbing or technical mountaineering skills. that is Why is Kilimanjaro is the Best of the Seven Summits to Climb.

How hard is it to climb the Seven Summits?

Completing the Seven Summits is a challenge even for extremely fit individuals. If you have the desire to tackle this goal, building top notch fitness and maintaining it over a long period of time is a must. Further this needs to be a high level of ‘climbing specific fitness’ and aerobic capability and strength.

What is harder Everest or Denali?

Denali is probably the most strenuous of the Seven Summits. It requires that climbers know advanced glacier skills, rope team travel, and involves heavier load carries. The weather is more unstable than Everest and Vinson, making it a great challenge and incredible training for an Everest climb

Is Denali harder than Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro Vs Denali – Denali is a much harder attempt than Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The steeps are very high on Denali and the oxygen level is also comparatively lower than that of Kilimanjaro. Moreover, your body will get acclimatized to the Kilimanjaro weather more easily.

How many people have successfully climbed the Seven Summits?

Climbing to the top of the world’s Seven Summits – the highest point on each of the seven continents – takes these goals to the extreme. And extreme is putting it mildly. Only about 500 people have achieved the feat since the idea of doing so was first conceived in the 1950s.

What is the tallest mountain under water?

The Pacific Ocean has an underwater mountain near Hawaii called the Mauna Kea. When measured from its underwater base, it is about 10,200 m in height. Mount Everest is 8,848 m high.

Is K2 harder than Everest?

Despite being nearly 800 feet shorter than Mount Everest, K2 is a more deadly mountain. Mountaineer Jake Meyer told Insider several critical factors contribute to making K2 so dangerous. On K2, mountaineers face constant 45-degree-angle climbs, no matter the route they take, he said.

Why is K2 East face unclimbed?

A: West Ridge; B: West Face; C: Northwest Ridge; D: North Ridge; E: Northeast Ridge. Because 75% of people who climb K2 use the Abruzzi Spur, these listed routes are rarely climbed. No one has climbed the East Face of the mountain due to the instability of the snow and ice formations on that side.

What is the cheapest of the 7 summits to climb?

The cost of the program “Seven peaks”

• Everest – $50,000-90,000.
• Vinson – $45,000-$50,000.
• Carstens – $10,000-$15,000.
• Denali – $10,000-$15,000.
• Aconcagua – $5,000.
• Kilimanjaro – $4,000+
• Elbrus – up to $1,000

Is Aconcagua harder than Everest?

Way different. 1) about 6,000 feet (2 KM) difference in altitude and elevation. Aconcagua doesn’t require O2 for most people. 2) Serious technical (basic) glaciological and ice climbing challenges largely avoidable on Aconcagua on its basic route.

How tall is Denali compared to Everest?

Unlike Mauna Kea, the base of Denali is situated on land. Its base is situated at an elevation of 2,000 feet, and its summit is only about 9,000 feet below Everest’s, according to the National Park Service. This makes Denali roughly 3,000 feet taller than Everest, when measured from base to peak.

What is harder Kilimanjaro or Aconcagua?

Aconcagua is Much Tougher than Kilimanjaro. The summit day is extremely challenging and can take 12+ hours or more from camp and back. This all after some strenuous load carries of 16kg/ 35lbs and trying to sleep at recover at 4,950m/ 16,240 feet at Camp 1.

What is the most technically difficult mountain to climb?

K2 – The hardest mountain to climb is often considered to be K2, the world’s second-highest peak, due to its extreme weather conditions, technical climbing challenges, and high fatality rate.

Which of the 7 summits is the most difficult?

Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak in the world at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet), is the hardest mountain to climb. Technical climbing abilities are needed for the climb, as well as the capacity to withstand high altitudes, erratic weather patterns, and the dangers of the Khumbu Icefall.

What are the 7 summits in order of height?

Our Everest season is truly underway.

We have welcomed climbers and trekkers from all over the world to Kathmandu and our First Wave (Western Guided Team Climbers, Rugged Luxury Trekkers, 3 Peaks Climbers)  have flown into the Khumbu valley on helicopters and trekked to the riverside town of Phakding.

Today they will launch up to Namche: 11,286 ft (3,440m) which will take them between 5-6 hours and they will gain +2,723ft (830m) in elevation. The trail starts by weaving its way through lush Rhododendron forest, along the river banks, up over some thrilling suspension bridges that span across the raging glacial-fed Dudh Khosi River before tackling the 2,000ft (610m) Hill that leads to Namche Bazaar.

The first of the treks’s challenging climbs, it’s best to take it slow and steady and make use of the well built stone terraces to stop, rest and enjoy the views. They are in no rush, and their bodies are beginning their acclimatization process so they can expect to be a bit breathless!

Terraced into the hill side in a C shape, Namche Bazaar is the Sherpa capital, a brilliant, vibrant town, filled with fun little shops, great bakeries and cafes and narrow winding pedestrian streets.

Meanwhile, The Crum Family are enjoying a custom itinerary with added acclimatization days in Lukla and they will fold into our second wave tomorrow and trek to Phakding.

In Kathmandu; our Second Wave (Our Private 1:1 Climbers & our EBC & Gokyo Trekkers) have settled in and today will do their gear checks and expedition briefing at the Hyatt, before readying themselves to fly into the Khumbu Valley by helicopter tomorrow.

All is well and happy in Nepal.

Nima Jangmu Sherpa

3 Sisters Introduction

A native of Rolwaling, Nima Jangmu Sherpa was honoured by the Guinness World Record for her achievement in conquering three of the highest 8000 mountains, Everest, Lhotse and Kanchenjunga, within 25 days in the spring of 2018.

She was honoured as the fastest female to climb the three highest peaks in a short period. She also reached the top of Amadablam, a 6812 meters technical mountain. After completing the rock climbing and mountain rescue training conducted by Nepal Mountaineering Instructor Association (NMIA), she started climbing. Besides her passion for mountaineering, she helps her mother in the village, working on a farm, collecting grass from the steep terrain of the valley and herding yaks, cows and sheep. During peak trekking season, from age 13, she also worked as a porter to financially support her family, carrying more than 30 kilograms of the client’s luggage across the strenuous “Tashi Lapcha pass” that connects Rolwaling Valley with the Everest region at an altitude of 5755 meters. As farm work is a priority in Nepal’s remote villages, she never got an opportunity to attend school. She is everything the world can embody as a countryside girl but continues to inspire other women to dream big.

Tshering Namgya Sherpa

The Sister of Nima Jangmu grew up in Rolwaling and moved to Kathmandu at 12 for education, supported by his brother Mingma Gyalje Sherpa.

Nowadays, she is attending college doing her Bachelor’s degree in business studies. She undertook the climbing training rock climbing and mountain rescue training as her sister. She trained in the Yalung and Lobuche peaks to prepare for the seven summits. And later, in 2021, she reached the top of Mount Everest with her two sisters.

Dawa Futi Sherpa

Dawa is the youngest of the three sisters, who got an opportunity to attend school in Kathmandu. She is also studying in college, doing her Bachelor’s degree in business studies with her older sister Tshering.

As her sister, she undertook mountaineering courses such as rock climbing and mountain rescue training. During her vacation, she guides international clients to remote trekking areas in Nepal. In November 2019, she climbed Amadablam with her two sisters to prepare for the seven summits. In 2021 she made a successful ascent of Mount Everest with her two sisters as a debut of the seven summits. In Kathmandu, she works as an Operations Manager at Imagine Nepal Trek and Expedition, a company of her brother Mingma G.

“We announced on Women’s Day to empower and motivate women all over the planet. We are also raising funds to elevate the quality and standard of the school in Rolwaling Valley, our native land in the northcentral region of Nepal. This effort will promote beautiful Rolwaling Valley to the list of places to visit as a trekking destination. To raise awareness, we will also take the initiative to lead Camp-IV cleaning campaigns on Everest this spring.”

– 3 Sisters

• From the seven summits list, three sisters on a mission to conquer all the highest peaks on seven continents had completed 3 of the highest mountain. Followed by Everest in 2021, 3 sisters successfully made their ascent to Mt Elbrus on 13 November 2022 at around 3:15 local time and Mt Kilimanjaro on 31 December 2022 at 8 am local time. All three expeditions were organised and sponsored by Imagine Nepal Trek and Expeditions with the clothing partner “Himali.”
• Next, they plan to summit Aconcagua, 6962 meters mountain in Argentina, South America.”

Discovery’s finale proves 5 star trek seasons is not the new 7.

Every Star Trek: Discovery Main Character’s Ending Explained

Star trek: discovery’s ending beautifully showed saru changed for the better, star trek: discovery ends with 1 last spore drive mystery.

WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery 's series finale, "Life, Itself"

• Star Trek: Discovery's finale disproves the notion that five seasons are the new seven in the franchise.
• The Berman-era Star Trek shows had the freedom to end on their own terms, unlike Discovery and Lower Decks.
• Lower Decks will face a similar fate as Discovery, with its upcoming fifth season confirmed to be the last.

Recent developments in the wider franchise have led fans to state that five seasons of Star Trek are the new seven, but Star Trek: Discovery 's finale disproves this notion. The Star Trek: Discovery finale, and its epilogue, brought the adventures of Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) to an end, but this wasn't the original plan. Discovery season 6 was in the planning stages before Paramount made the decision to cancel the show. That decision resulted in "Life, Itself", written by Kyle Jarrow and Michelle Paradise, serving as the series finale, with new scenes added to end Discovery 's story.

It was recently announced that Star Trek: Lower Decks would face the same fate as Star Trek: Discovery , with the upcoming fifth season confirmed to be its last. Whether Lower Decks will go for a similar approach to Discovery 's ending and epilogue remains to be seen. In the 1990s, Star Trek shows ran for seven seasons, so the comparison has been made that " five seasons are the new seven " in the new streaming landscape . However, that's not true, as the decisions made about both Discovery and Lower Decks endings bear no similarity to how shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation ended in the 1990s.

What happened to Captain Michael Burnham & the USS Discovery crew in the Star Trek: Discovery series finale, and where did they end up afterwards?

Why 5 Seasons Is Not The New 7 When It Comes To Star Trek Shows

The berman-era star trek shows canceled themselves..

The popularity of the shows in the Star Trek: The Next Generation era meant that they had the freedom to cancel themselves. So, rather than have an ending forced upon them, the writers of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager were able to bring the story to an end on their own terms . It was slightly different for TNG as it ended so that Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the USS Enterprise-D crew could lead the next phase of Star Trek movies . Regardless, Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga were still able to write a proper ending for TNG as a TV show.

Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga were effectively writing the scripts for "All Good Things..." and Star Trek Generations simultaneously, later reflecting that the TNG finale was the better story.

The only exception to this rule in the Rick Berman era is Star Trek: Enterprise , which was canceled at the end of season 4 . Rather than give Enterprise a proper send-off, the finale was written as an ending for the entire Berman era, with Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) observing the last adventure for the Enterprise NX-01. Riker hoped that this would help him make the decision he had to make in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 7, episode 12, "The Pegasus".

By jumping ahead in time to explain an old episode of Star Trek that everyone had already forgotten about, Star Trek: Discovery 's finale feels a lot like the end of Enterprise .

Enterprise 's controversial finale undermined the cast, which felt like an insult given the show's cancelation. 20 years after "These Are The Voyages..." aired, and like Enterprise with "The Pegasus", the Star Trek: Discovery finale sets up the Short Treks episode "Calypso" . By jumping ahead in time to explain an old episode of Star Trek that everyone had already forgotten about, Star Trek: Discovery 's finale feels a lot like the end of Enterprise . Like Enterprise , Discovery has been canceled, it hasn't turned down a future season, proving that five seasons are not the new seven in modern Star Trek .

How Star Trek: Discovery’s Finale Differs From Other Star Trek Shows

Even compared to the modern Star Trek shows, the ending of Star Trek: Discovery is quite different. For example, Star Trek: Picard was only ever commissioned for three seasons, and had a vague thematic arc between seasons 1 and 3. The story of Admiral Picard's later years was all about reconciling his past mistakes and preparing him for fatherhood. Star Trek: Discovery has always had season-long arcs, but lacks an overarching series arc much like Star Trek: The Next Generation . Which is why Saru's wedding in Discovery could have served as a neat finale, not unlike TNG 's final poker game.

Star Trek: Discovery's final episode beautifully proved that Doug Jones' Saru had undergone a major change for the better since season 1.

Leaving the end of Star Trek: Discovery more open-ended, with Burnham and Book beaming off on a Red Directive mission, could have set up future revivals. Both Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager 's ending lacked finality, allowing shows like Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Prodigy to revisit the characters. By jumping ahead to the far future and abandoning the USS Discovery, there's a finality to the Discovery finale that could make it hard to lend dramatic stakes to any comebacks in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy or a Discovery reunion movie.

What Does Discovery’s Finale Mean For Lower Decks’ Ending?

As the promotional artwork for Star Trek: Lower Decks has been riffing on Star Trek movie posters since season 1, it's clear that they, like Star Trek: Discovery , were aiming for at least six seasons. Sadly, that's not going to be the case, and Lower Decks season 5 will be its last. It remains to be seen how Lower Decks will approach the end of the show when the final season starts airing in the Fall. It's possible that Mike McMahan may opt to do a sentimental epilogue like Discovery , or may even just stick with the planned end of season 5, teasing future off-screen adventures for the crew of the USS Cerritos.

...it would make good sense to keep things open-ended, especially if Netflix is in the market for another Star Trek animated series.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is a love-letter to the TNG era, so it feels likely that showrunner Mike McMahan will write an ending that feels of a piece with "All Good Things..." . There's currently a campaign to Save Lower Decks , so it would make good sense to keep things open-ended, especially if Netflix is in the market for another Star Trek animated series. Whatever happens, the fates of both Lower Decks and Star Trek: Discovery prove that the television landscape is more competitive than in the 1990s, meaning that while five seasons may not be the new seven in factual terms, it's still an impressive milestone.

All episodes of Star Trek: Discovery are streaming now on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Discovery

*Availability in US

Not available

Star Trek: Discovery is an entry in the legendary Sci-Fi franchise, set ten years before the original Star Trek series events. The show centers around Commander Michael Burnham, assigned to the USS Discovery, where the crew attempts to prevent a Klingon war while traveling through the vast reaches of space.

Star Trek: Lower Decks

"Star Trek: Lower Decks" focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The ship's bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T'Ana. This is the second animated spin-off in the franchise after 1973-74's "Star Trek: The Animated Series," but has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.

Three trekkers reach the peak in The Summit’s 2024 finale

In Tuesday’s finale, Mat, Simmone, Charlotte, and Trisha realised they had reached the wrong summit.

After a 15-day trek in the alps of New Zealand’s South Island, Charlotte, Simmone, and Mat have come out on top out of the 15 contestants who embarked on The Summit, claiming their share of the $1 million prize.

In Tuesday’s finale on Nine and 9Now , Mat, Simmone, Charlotte, and Trisha realised they had reached the wrong summit. With 24 hours left to reach the correct one, they faced losing over $580,000 in prize money if they failed to reach it by 12pm the next day.

Impeding their progress to the summit were two crevasses they had to cross, along with a note instructing them to leave the final hiker behind. Mat had promised to take Simmone and Charlotte to the summit, so he convinced the group to change the order of crossing, leaving Trisha and her $53,000 behind.

The trio finally reached the summit and celebrated their victory. However, The Mountain’s Keeper revealed one final twist: Charlotte was given the power to decide the distribution of the prize pot – whether to share it or claim it all for herself.

On the valley floor, the winning hikers were met by those who had been eliminated. After deliberation, Charlotte chose to give $100,000 each to Simmone and Mat, reserving a sum of $336,000 for herself.

35-year-old Charlotte from New South Wales said: “I feel I’ve shown myself and those watching that ability truly comes from the heart. That with determination, humour and a few tears, anything is possible. I took the first step towards that peak with the incredible support of my family, friends and partner, and also the support of those on the mountain who believed in me, Olympia, Lochie, Rosi, Mat, and Taylor .

“The prize money will allow me to create security for myself and my family, something I didn’t think would ever be possible as a public healthcare worker. Representation matters. This was for all the nubs out there. You can do it.”

Mat, a 48-year-old Queenslander, said: “Reaching the summit was amazing. And to do it with the people I’d committed to, getting there with was worth every bit of heartache and struggle.”

Simmone, 51, from New South Wales, added: “I went in solely for the money for a better life for my son and I, but what I got was a reignited fire deep in my soul. I’ll be forever grateful that The Summit handed me the match.”

The Summit is developed by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Company) and Nine.

Review: Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 6 “Whistlespeak”

It’s been a while since a Starfleet crew thoroughly discombobulated a native population, and that’s exactly what the Discovery crew does in this week’s episode.

After hundreds of tests on the vial Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin-Green ) retrieved from the I.S.S. Enterprise , the crew learns it contains something incredibly… well, boring: clean water. But thanks to some sleuthing, there’s a much greater significance to the water than meets the eye.

You see, Doctor Kovich ( David Cronenberg ), at home in his white infinity, shares with Burnham a list of all scientists who were involved in hiding the Progenitor tech. With the clues hidden by Jinaal Bix, Carmen Cho, and Dr. Vallek already found, that leaves Hitoroshi Kreel, a Denobulan, and Marina Derex, a Betazoid. Burnham deduces the water vial is the product of Kreel, as the scientist’s specialty was designing weather towers to generate rain. Zora ( Annabelle Wallis ) helps Burnham, Paul Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ), and Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman ) deduce the water in the vial is representative of one planet, Halem, so that’s where Discovery heads next.

First, let’s talk about Kovich, who the writers for this season are trying to seem even more mysterious than before. Kovich in this episode uses a 21 st -century legal pad to provide Burnham with the list of scientists, and claims he procured such an oddity by being “resourceful.” Just who is this guy? Hopefully, Kovich’s true nature will be revealed before the end of this show; we sincerely hope this character isn’t just quirky for the sake of being quirky, and that he plays a larger role in Discovery ’s overarching story.

Before transporting to the only weather tower still operating on Halem, the crew learns a bit about the native, pre-warp, pre-industrial population. The Prime Directive is in play here, as Kreel disguised the weather tower as a mountain to avoid exposing the natives to outsiders, and now Discovery’s crew needs to follow the same example. The tower functions as a place where Halem’nites go to commune with their gods, so accessing the mountain will be tricky.

“You can learn so much about a society by how the individuals speak to one another.” – Burnham, on the Halem’nites

The humanoids on Halem communicate both via traditional language, and “whistlespeak,” a form of communication that is inclusive, progressive, surprisingly articulate, and allows longer-range communications than traditional phonetic language. All signs point to the natives being a welcoming society.

After helping rescue and escort a group of Halem’nites from outside the weather tower’s safe perimeter into the habitable zone, Burnham and Tilly quickly incorporate themselves well enough into the motley local community as visitors from afar. The Starfleet pair soon enter themselves into a competition that judges who can gain access to the High Summit – a race to the water tower that serves as a test of devotion to the Halem’nites’ gods. Before the race, the pair also encounter a native, Ravah ( June Laporte ), daughter of the Summit’s priest, Ohvahz ( Alfredo Narciso ), and the young native befriends them despite also being a challenger in the race.

On the morning of the race, Burnham checks in with Discovery , where Ensign Adira Tal ( Blu del Barrio ) found other now-defunct weather towers across the planet. The other towers stopped working due to energy issues, and that’s what’s happening now with the High Summit, which means the Halem’nites Burnham and Tilly just started to get to know are in grave danger. The only way to stop the High Summit from failing is if the away team can find an auxiliary control panel somewhere near the High Summit and restart it. As if there wasn’t enough burden on Burnham’s shoulders.  

Considering the Halem’nites are constantly fighting thirst because of their planet’s general aridness, the competitors are subject to extreme thirst as they begin the race to the High Summit. As if running up a mountain wasn’t trying enough. Partway through the challenge, Burnham miraculously notices a point on the race trail where she thinks the auxiliary console is located, and drops out of the competition to pursue the lead. Sure enough, she finds and restarts the console, thanks to assistance from Ensign Tal, which strikes one mission objective off their list.

Tilly is heading toward her own disqualification from the race, if not for the support from Ravah. Soon enough, both Tilly and Ravah make it within striking distance of the finish line, and Tilly returns the favor by helping Ravah limp across in a show of good sportsmanship. Good for Tilly, but this just means both are now heading to the High Summit, which as we see shortly is not the enlightenment we were led to believe.

The winners of the race get to be close to gods who are supposed to bring rain to the natives. Burnham and Tilly know the weather station is actually responsible for bringing good weather, but the Halem’nites think something different: a human sacrifice in the heart of the High Summit is what does the trick. This twist is reminiscent of a similar sacrificial heart-dropping reveal in Strange New Worlds’ “ Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach ,” and suddenly the stakes are much higher for Burnham, who has to rescue Tilly and Ravah from a needless death – even if it violates the Prime Directive.

“Are there no gods? Are there… what is there?” “There is still what you believe. Nothing we have shown you means gods don’t exist.” – Ohvahz and Burnham

While they await their sacrifice, Tilly and Ravah bond over their struggle, and Ravah describes some peculiar numerical markings on the wall of the chamber, which both represent the five serenity prayers within Halem culture and the five weather towers across the planet. Tilly recognizes the fifth symbol as the same as being on the vial back on Discovery , but the revelation may not matter, as suffocation threatens to take Tilly and Ravah both.

Despite the enormous consequences of revealing the existence of people not from Halem, never mind the reveal of the High Summit not just being a tool of the gods, Burnham flips off the Prime Directive and reveals herself to Ohvahz so she can rescue the innocent people trapped inside the High Summit. She convinces Ohvahz that her extraterrestrial story is legit, and that the High Summit is actually a piece of technology – no small discovery for the native.

Should Burnham have blatantly violated the Prime Directive in this way? Of course not, but let’s be honest: the Prime Directive really is more of a guideline than a rule for the protagonists in Star Trek shows. We hope Burnham faces some discipline for this flagrant violation of Starfleet’s most sacred rule. In any case, Burnham breaking the Prime Directive ultimately means the Halem’nites need to start to embrace a major societal change. The ritual race to the High Summit won’t have as much meaning anymore now that they know the rain will come no matter what, but as Burnham suggests, perhaps there are plenty of Helem’nites who are ready for a change. As Ohvahz notes to his daughter, “Perhaps devotion means being able to hear when the gods tell us something new.” This is as great a lesson as any Star Trek episode can offer.

With the weather tower repaired and two peoples’ lives saved from a needless sacrificial death, the Discovery crew retrieves the next clue from one of the planet’s other water towers.  Near the end of the episode, Burnham and Tilly ponder the meaning of finding the clue in a water tower, and they reason that technology can be powerfully dangerous in the wrong hands, and they need to be careful when they find the Progenitor’s tech. And just on schedule, the crew learns of Moll and L’ak’s most recent whereabouts, but that’ll have to wait until next week.

Elsewhere in this episode, Doctor Hugh Culber ( Wilson Cruz ) is still struggling with explaining and processing the spiritual awakening he has had following his experiences in “ Jinaal .” His partner, Paul Stamets, doesn’t seem to quite get what Culber is going through, and not even “grief alleviation therapy” – where a holographic version of Culber’s wise grandmother can have conversations with the doctor – can help.

The person who does offer some welcome perspective and emotional support is Cleveland Booker ( David Ajala ). Book asserts that Culber’s spiritual awakening, and accompanying emotional turbulence, is just as important as anybody else’s journey – and that’s all we’ll get from Culber’s multi-episode arc for now. After a few episodes of marginal development, hopefully, something happens with this subplot soon, or else we’re going to start to lose interest. But while Culber’s arc may seem tangential at times, his search for meaning resonates with the overarching themes of identity and purpose woven throughout the series.

So, as the Discovery crew continues their quest for the Progenitors’ technology, they are reminded of the potential dangers that come with wielding such power. It is a sobering realization that underscores the responsibility they bear as guardians of advanced technology in a universe fraught with conflict and peril.

With each episode, this season invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of morality, identity, and the ever-evolving nature of progress. As the crew inches their way toward the ultimate treasure, “Whistlespeak” remains true to one overarching theme of this show: the true measure of humanity lies not in adherence to rules, but in our capacity for compassion and understanding in the face of uncertainty and adversity. That seems to be what this show is all about, yeah?

Stray Thoughts:

• Why didn’t it occur to Culber, a doctor, sooner that he should run a series of tests on his body, as his grandmother suggests, to determine if there’s something medically wrong with him.
• Tilly drops a couple hints about what is going on at Starfleet Academy nowadays, and it’s not a rosy picture. The Academy isn’t giving the cadets “what they need,” so perhaps these conflicts will be at play in the upcoming Starfleet Academy show?
• Why do video games in the 32nd century look no better than Space Invaders ?

Every episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 5 ranked from worst to best

T his past week, we watched the grand finale of Star Trek: Discovery , and what a ride it’s been. The series took us on an interstellar journey full of twists, turns, and emotional moments. Now that the final episode has aired, it’s time for the ultimate mission: ranking all of this fifth and final season’s episodes from worst to best.

As we climb the ranks, the episodes just get better and better. From emotional character arcs to epic space battles, each one brought something special to the table. The top episodes had us cheering, crying, and everything in between. They showcased the best of Discovery : strong leadership from Captain Burnham, heartwarming moments, and of course, jaw-dropping sci-fi spectacle.

Let’s celebrate this incredible journey by reliving and ranking this last-ever chunk of episodes, starting, unfortunately, with the big finish:

10) Episode 10, "Life, Itself"

The series finale of Star Trek: Discovery aimed to wrap up the fifth season with a bang but fell short, landing it at the bottom of our rankings. The episode kicks off with Michael Burnham and Moll engaging in a dimension-hopping battle, trying to control the powerful Progenitor tech. Meanwhile, the Discovery crew faces imminent danger from Primarch Tahal's fleet, with Saru volunteering for a near-suicidal mission to save his shipmates. Despite the high stakes, the plot feels rushed and filled with forced twists, like Culber’s sudden spiritual insight and a simplistic puzzle Michael must solve. The climax fizzles out as Michael decides to destroy the tech, deeming it too dangerous, which undoes a season's worth of buildup. Even the final flash forward to Admiral Michael and Book's future with their son fails to deliver the emotional punch it wants to.

"Life, Itself" ranks last due to its convenient plot devices, rushed character arcs, anti-climactic resolution, and lack of emotional depth. While Star Trek: Discovery has delivered many thrilling adventures, this finale felt more like a misstep than a grand farewell.

9) Episode 2, "Under the Twin Moons"

"Under the Twin Moons," the second episode of season 5, takes us on a space adventure that's twistier than a barrel of Tribbles. Captain Burnham’s deep space musing sets the tone, but the episode starts off a bit slow with a hearing about Captain Rayner’s cowboy diplomacy. Not everyone’s impressed, and it drags a bit. The adventure kicks into gear on Lyric, a planet packed with history and Progenitor tech. Burnham and the crew are like space Indiana Jones, decoding riddles and dodging killer drones. This part is exciting and adds some much-needed thrills. Saru gets the nickname “Action Saru,” and it’s perfect. He and Burnham tackle ancient ruins and drone attacks like pros. The crew’s puzzle-solving feels a bit like a book club with higher stakes; it’s interesting but doesn’t quite match the action on Lyric. Book’s surprising (or convenient?) connection to Moll spices things up, but it’s a bit out of the blue. The race against Moll and L’ak is fun, but it feels a bit rushed. The episode’s metaphor about dualities — curiosity vs. preservation, adventure vs. respect — adds depth, reminding us of the complex nature of their mission. Despite the cool action scenes, the balance between excitement and downtime isn’t quite right.

"Under the Twin Moons" has its exciting moments and deep themes, but the slow start and uneven pacing hold it back. It’s a decent episode with some great action, but it could use a bit more zing. As it stands, it's in the second-to-last spot.

8) Episode 4, "Face the Strange"

"Face the Strange" takes us on a character-driven journey through time. The episode kicks off with a sneaky time bug that traps the Discovery in a time loop. This leads to our heroes popping up in iconic moments from the show's past, from battling the sinister AI known as Control and even seeing when the ship was constructed. It’s a nostalgic trip that’s fun but feels a bit like filler.

The episode shines a spotlight on Commander Rayner, who’s adjusting to his new role as first officer. His clashes with Captain Burnham’s emotional leadership style make for an interesting dynamic. By the end, Rayner learns the importance of emotional bonds and trust.

While the time loop and character moments are engaging, the episode’s pacing feels a bit slow. The plot involving villains Moll and L'ak doesn’t quite hit the mark; their motivations feel weak. "Face the Strange" is a filler episode with heart that sets the stage for more exciting adventures to come.

7) Episode 5, "Mirrors"

"Mirrors," the fifth episode of Season 5, has all the right ingredients but ends up being a bit of a middling meal. A mysterious wormhole, ghost ships, and a semi-destroyed USS Enterprise provide a spooky and intriguing setup. Book’s heartfelt reminiscing about his mentor and his attempts to pull Moll back from the dark side are touching if a bit plodding. Michael and Book’s space detective work inside the wormhole adds some excitement, but the episode could use more of it.

Despite the slow pace, we get some great character moments. Rayner stepping up and showing his leadership skills is a highlight. The villains in this episode don’t quite hit the mark. Moll and L'ak's backstory has potential, but the forbidden love story angle feels overused.

Overall, "Mirrors" has its moments but doesn’t quite hit the high notes we’ve come to expect from this show.

6) Episode 3, "Jinaal"

"Jinaal" gives us relationship drama, action, and some lessons on how not to be a jerk. Rayner’s character development is both frustrating and fascinating. He starts off as a bit of a bully, but Michael’s advice and Tilly’s tough love begin to break through his rough exterior. Watching Rayner learn to connect with the crew is both cringe-worthy and heartwarming.

Tilly and Adira’s mission to find Jinaal Bix, an ancient Trill, adds a fun and adventurous element to the episode. Their dynamic is entertaining, and their plan to talk to Jinaal through his newest host is classic Trek ingenuity. Wilson Cruz shines as Culber, especially when Jinaal’s consciousness temporarily takes over his body.

"Jinaal" blends relationship drama, character growth, and classic Star Trek adventure with heartfelt moments, thrilling action, and valuable lessons, keeping fans eagerly watching for what’s next.

5) Episode 1, "Red Directive"

"Red Directive," the season opener, kicks the season off with a bang and a bit of warp wave surfing! Captain Michael Burnham is on a mission to recover stolen goods from a vault, but things quickly go sideways.

The scenes where the cast socializes at Federation Headquarters are fun. It's great to see Burnham mingling with Stamets, Culber, and Tilly, who’s now a Starfleet Academy professor. The "Tonic 2161" cocktails add a nice touch of Trek nostalgia. The episode shifts into high gear with a chase across the desert planet Q’Mau. There’s a marketplace showdown, a sand runner chase, and an avalanche crisis that keeps the tension high. The tractor-beam tug-of-war is a standout moment. The Romulan puzzle box and its connection to the Progenitors is a brilliant nod to "The Chase" from Star Trek: The Next Generation . This season had so much potential.

Overall, "Red Directive" delivers a thrilling start with a perfect mix of action, nostalgia, and character development.

4) Episode 9, "Lagrange Point"

"Lagrange Point" is a thrilling ride that keeps you glued to the screen as Michael Burnham leads her team through high-stakes drama, epic space battles, and emotional moments. The tension is sky-high as the crew faces off against the Breen and tries to avoid getting pulled into merging black holes. Burnham's leadership shines and the action sequences are top-notch. Plus, the discovery of the mysterious Progenitor tech adds a twist that leaves you eagerly anticipating the finale. This episode perfectly blends action, suspense, and emotion, earning the number 4 spot in our rankings. If only the finale had been this good.

3) Episode 7, "Erigah"

"Erigah" is packed with political intrigue and heart-wrenching drama. It skillfully blends the spirit of classic Star Trek with fresh and modern ideas. The episode dives deep into Federation politics and the mysterious Breen. Commander Rayner steps up with a gut-wrenching backstory that makes you root for him. Rayner's dynamic with Burnham is electric. Their contrasting leadership styles create exciting tension. Moll and L'ak, our space Romeo and Juliet, find themselves in a cosmic pickle. L'ak's injury and eventual tragic overdose hit hard, leaving Moll alone and sad but determined to use Progenitor tech to bring him back.

"Erigah" blends heart-pounding drama, emotional depth, and classic Trek elements, making it a top-notch episode from this final season.

2) Episode 6, "Whistlespeak"

"Whistlespeak" is a standout episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 5. This one has everything that makes Star Trek awesome. Captain Michael Burnham and the ever-bubbly Lt. Sylvia Tilly beam down to the primitive planet Halem'no. Visiting Halem'no is like stepping back in time, with log-tossing and no tech in sight.

But things get intense quickly! Burnham and Tilly find themselves wrapped up in the planet’s strange and dangerous rituals, including a life-or-death race and a terrifying sacrificial chamber. The stakes are high, and Burnham has to work her magic to save Tilly and a local girl, Ravah, without breaking the Prime Directive...well, maybe just a little.

What makes "Whistlespeak" shine is how it channels the spirit of classic Star Trek . It's all about exploring strange new worlds, facing ethical dilemmas, and tackling social issues. The dialogue is sharp, the action is fast-paced, and it feels like a break from the usual galaxy-threatening crises. This episode challenges the crew’s morals and mirrors our own societal flaws through the lens of a primitive culture, just like the original series did. The emphasis on character interaction and clever storytelling captures the essence of what makes Star Trek special.

"Whistlespeak" beautifully connects Discovery to the roots of Star Trek , making it a nostalgic treat for fans. It’s an episode that entertains and makes you think, reminding you why you love the series.

1) Episode 8, "Labyrinths"

"Labyrinths" takes the crown as the best episode of season 5, and it's easy to see why. This episode dives deep into Michael Burnham's character, showing her vulnerabilities, fears, and regrets. Her emotional journey is touching and deeply human. The mind-bending plot keeps you on the edge of your seat as Michael faces a life-or-death puzzle in a virtual liminal space. The suspense and twists are pure Star Trek magic. Michael and Book's relationship adds depth to the story, and their scenes together are both tense and tender. While Michael solves puzzles, the rest of the crew kicks butt against the Breen. Lt. Gen Rhys shows his command skills, and Adira and Stamets' scientific genius saves the day. The action is top-notch and keeps the adrenaline pumping.

This episode channels the original spirit of Star Trek with its themes of humanity, diplomacy, and preservation of life. The nods to The Next Generation are a treat for long-time Trekkies, bringing a sense of nostalgia and continuity. Michael's heart-to-heart with the entity is unforgettable. Her fears and anxieties about being a good captain, friend, and partner are laid bare, making her incredibly relatable. This scene alone makes the episode a must-watch.

With stunning visuals, a gripping narrative and emotional depth, "Labyrinths" is a perfect blend of what makes Discovery great. It's an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you eager for the series' conclusion.

Founders Day 2024: Thousands expected in Akron to mark founding of Alcoholics Anonymous

Thousands of visitors from near and far will be in Greater Akron this weekend to mark the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Like in year's past, this  Founders Day  gathering will be at University of Akron but visitors will be touring sites in and around the city that played roles in the organization's history.

The university has a relatively new clear-bag policy in place for this year's gathering so all visitors are not allowed to bring in traditional purses, fanny packs or even camera cases into the event.

The event marks the 89th anniversary of group's founding in Akron, and 9,000 or so participants typically attend to listen to the speakers who share stories of their paths to sobriety and take tours.

The annual gathering, which starts Friday, is held on the weekend closest to June 10, which marks the day in 1935 when AA founder Dr. Bob took his last drink.

For more information about the event, visit  https://foundersday.org/ .

Some of the places that played a key role in AA's history — like where Bill W. and Dr. Bob first met at the  Gate Lodge at Stan Hywet Hall  and formulated the organization's founding principles — will be open for tours.

Admission to the Gate Lodge and its exhibit, Henrietta Seiberling: A Spark for a Movement, will be free.

There will be a Reflections Tent on the grounds where visitors can share their recovery stories, and the Summit Wellness by 91.3 The Summit will feature recovery music over the weekend.

A free shuttle will travel between Stan Hywet and the University of Akron.

The Gate Lodge is where Henrietta Buckler Seiberling brought together Bill W. and Dr. Bob on Mother's Day in 1935 for a conversation about their drinking problems.

This conversation led to the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Dr. Bob's Akron home  and museum on Ardmore Avenue will also be open for tours.

His gravesite in the  Mount Peace Cemetery  will be another likely stop as members visit and often leave sobriety coins on his gravestone.

Hundreds of motorcycles make the trek from the University of Akron campus to the gravesite Sunday morning.
