American climber Tyler Andrews, 36, sets a new speed record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest, according to statements from his team. Andrews climbs the 29,032-foot (8,848.86-metre) peak in 9 hours and 55 minutes. Both outlets report that this time is faster than the previous record, which had stood for 23 years. SBS says Andrews breaks the long-standing record by just over an hour, while CBS News specifies the prior best as 10 hours and 56 minutes. The reports describe Andrews’ achievement as the fastest ever summit of Mount Everest, based on the timing information provided by his team. No additional details about the route, weather conditions, or whether Andrews used supplemental oxygen are included in the provided summaries. Both accounts present the record as newly established on the basis of the time taken to complete the ascent to the summit.
