We are thrilled to share the news of Sophie Lavaud and her team’s successful second attempt at summiting Annapurna IV on 20 October 2025. Reflecting on the climb, Sophie said, ‘The mountain was far more challenging than I had imagined, but incredibly rewarding.’ The final push from Camp 3 (6,510 m) was a gruelling 10-hour climb, covering over 1,000 m of steep, exposed, and windy terrain, with no fixed ropes on the final ridge. Sophie described it as one of the toughest ascents she has ever faced – even compared with some 8,000 m peaks. This remarkable achievement is part of the ‘Honouring the Pioneers’ project, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the first French ascent of Annapurna I in 1950 – a tribute to those who dared to explore the unknown. After a challenging first attempt in the spring, when poor conditions forced a retreat, we would like to congratulate Sophie and her team for their perseverance, determination, and unwavering focus on their goal. #TheDriveYouDemand
