“Extremely wild and impressive mountain, difficult and dangerous. This is the year when Nims Dai will achieve his record. He arrives at the base camp unknown to everyone. His motivation is unwavering. With the Sherpas, they will reopen the way through the Dutch spurs that we are renaming Gyalzen Ridge! Our success will be tarnished by the death of one of the members of our expedition. The sad reality of the very high altitude is catching up with us.”

Solidarity project

The NGO Terre des hommes

As an ambassador for Terre des hommes, throughout my quest for the 14 peaks of more than 8,000 meters, I was committed to giving visibility to the organization's projects, in particular in Nepal and Pakistan, countries at the heart of my expeditions and where Terre des hommes carries out essential actions in favor of children and their families. Through my extraordinary career, I want to transmit a message of solidarity and perseverance, and thus contribute to strengthening the impact and reputation of Terre des hommes in its mission to protect children.
