NEW YORK — The first all-Black Mount Everest expedition team, Full Circle Everest, has reached the summit of the highest mountain on Earth, and their excitement can be felt from thousands of feet below.
The seven climbers who reached the summit include Manoah Ainuu, Eddie Taylor, Rosemary Saal, Demond “Dom” Mullins, Thomas Moore, James “KG” Kagami and Evan Green.
“I am deeply honored to report that seven members of the Full Circle Everest team reached the summit on May 12," said Full Circle Everest leader Philip Henderson."While a few members, including myself, did not summit, all members of the climb and Sherpa teams have safely returned to Base Camp where we will celebrate this historic moment!”
They hope to inspire the next generation of Black athletes, climbers and mountaineers to take themselves to new heights. Similarly, Eddie Taylor, another climber on the team, also hopes to be an inspiration for future outdoor sports athletes.
