In this handout photograph taken on October 15, 2025, a French mountaineer makes his way near the summit of Jannu East, the first ascent of the 7,468 m peak in eastern Nepal. Nepal's mountains including Everest have long drawn climbers from across the world, but a growing community is exploring hidden summits promising solitude and the chance to be first to the top. The Himalayan nation is home to eight of the world's 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of climbers every year, making mountaineering a lucrative business. (Photo by Thibaut Marot/AFP Photo)
