Seven members of the all-Black team Full Circle Everest summited the world’s tallest mountain on May 12
Historic heights in mountaineering were achieved this week as the first-ever team of all-Black climbers reached the summit of Mt.Bla Everest.
Seven Black climbers who braved the Full Circle Everest expedition reached the top of the world’s tallest mountain peak on Thursday, as reported by Outside, adding their names to a shortlist of people of African descent to accomplish the feat.
Before Full Circle, only 10 Black climbers were among the nearly 6,000 summits of Everest completed across approximately 60 years, a disparity the group deliberately set out to address through their latest ascent, per the outlet.
