🏔️ History made 🇮🇳
Proud moment for all of us at Boots & Crampons ❤️
My friend, partner and co-founder Bharath Thammineni has just created history by becoming the first Indian to climb 9 of the world’s 8000-meter peaks, after summiting Mt Cho Oyu (8188m) — the sixth-highest mountain on Earth. 💪
His list now includes Everest, Lhotse, Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Manaslu, Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Shishapangma and Cho Oyu.
Nine giants. One man. One unstoppable spirit.
Bharath’s journey is not just about climbing mountains — it’s about proving that limits exist only in the mind. His success is a reflection of pure dedication, humility, and the fire to represent India at the world’s highest places. 🇮🇳
At Boots & Crampons, this milestone means everything. What started as a passion project by two friends — an Army veteran and a dreamer from Kurnool — has grown into a mission to build India’s mountaineering community and help people realise their true potential by pushing their limits.
As I write this,
⛰️ I’m leading a team to Mt Ama Dablam in Nepal,
🥾 Another team is on the Annapurna Circuit,
🏕️ And one more has just started for Everest Base Camp.
Three teams. One spirit — to climb higher, live fuller, and inspire others to do the same. 🌍
So proud of you, Bharath. You’ve made your team, your country, and every dreamer proud.
Here’s to higher summits — on mountains and in life! 🏔️✨
