274 climbers set single-day summit record on Mount Everest's south side

A record 274 climbers reached the summit of Mount Everest on Wednesday from the mountain's south side (Nepal), surpassing the previous single-day record of 223 set in May 2019. The achievement was enabled by favorable weather conditions and a large number of climbers positioned to ascend during the spring climbing season.
