Russian Man Climbing Mount Everest with no legs<br /><br />Russian ex-soldier Rustam Nabiev, 34, who lost both legs in a 2015 barracks collapse, has made mountaineering history by summiting Mount Everest using only his arms.<br /><br />He reached the top on May 20, 2026, at 8:16 am Nepal time, becoming the first double amputee to climb Everest without prosthetics. Nabiev previously climbed Mount Manaslu in 2021 and depended entirely on upper body strength and ice axes during the ascent.<br /><br />His journey, which went viral online, was completed on his birthday and inspired many worldwide. Despite the difficult descent, he safely returned to Kathmandu and later traveled back to Russia.<br /><br />#russia #everest #mountaineering #russianews #climbing #mounteverest #mounteverst #insipration #disabilityadvocacy #nepal #worldrecord #mounteverestbasecamp #everestbasecamp
