Yesterday several climbers were reported on the Main-Peak of Shisha Pangma.
Tunç Findik was one of them; he was the first climber from Turkey on top of this mountain and it was his eighth 8000er. Also Ecuadorian climber Santiago Quintero summited and it is his fifth 8000er.
The Nepalese Sherpa climber Chhang Dawa claims to have finished the 14 8000ers with Shisha Pangma. If all ascents are confirmed he would be the second Nepalese climber with all the 14 after his brother Mingma. He also would be the youngest one, who finished them with 30 years and nine months.
Two other Nepalese Sherpa climbers summited with them, Mingma Thinduk and Nima Dorchi.

Also German climbing couple Luis Stitzinger and Alix von Melle and Austrian climber Rupert Hauer were reported on top.
