Egloff Abandons Everest Race; Andrews Continues & Nears South Col
"Conditions were not suitable for a no-O2 ascent," Egloff's wife told ExplorersWeb. "He followed his instinct and experience to go down when necessary."
She explained that Egloff had a bad feeling and decided to listen to it and retreat. He informed his team in Base Camp that he had already passed Camp 2 on the way down. Egloff is continuing all the way back to Base Camp. He wants to avoid being in the Khumbu Icefall during the warm day, when it is more unstable.
The Ecuadorian had hoped to set a Fastest Known Time on Everest from Base Camp to the summit and back to Base Camp.
Tyler Andrews of the U.S. abruptly changed his plans shortly before starting, but the conservative decision may have given him a chance to come away with a partial success.
Like Egloff, he had originally planned to do without bottled oxygen, but today, he decided otherwise. Andrews started using oxygen at Camp 2 and is carrying on, despite high winds.
There is no recent news from Andrews, as his tracker's signal froze when the climber was nearly at 7,500m, midway between Camp 3 and Camp 4.
Tyler Andrews' progress can be tracked here. Egloff's tracker is here.

Chelsea Have Set Their Sights On This Bundesliga Defender: Should Maresca Get Him On Board?
In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Chelsea have set their sights on Bayer 04 Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie this summer. It has been stated that the Blues are eyeing a move to bring the Ecuadorian centre-back to Stamford Bridge in this transfer window. Hincapie's Impressive Form In German Football Hincapie enjoyed a good run of form at the German club in the previous campaign when he put in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Ecuadorian talent took part in 45 matches for Bayer 04 Leverkusen last season, scoring three goals and earning two assists in multiple competitions. The 23-year-old gave a good account of himself on the defensive end of the field as he made 52 tackles, 40 blocks and 32 interceptions in the Bundesliga. He was even accurate with his ball distribution after completing 87.9% of his attempted passes in the German first division (stats via His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, it won't be easy for Chelsea to get a deal done for him on the cheap in this transfer window. GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR – JUNE 05: Piero Hincapié of Ecuador reacts during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match between Ecuador and Brazil at Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo on June 05, 2025 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. (Photo by) Should Chelsea Boss Enzo Maresca Get Hincapie On Board? Hincapie is a solid tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to make some timely interceptions for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the front foot. The Ecuadorian sensation excels at playing his way out from the back. Hincapie is primarily a centre-back but can also play as a left-back or as a left-sided wide player if needed. However, it remains to be seen whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if the Blues manage to snap him up this month. We can expect Hincapie to add more bite and steel to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca's defence. He has what it takes to challenge for a regular first-team spot at the West London club this season. At 23, Hincapie has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good choice for the Blues to consider this summer. All in all, Maresca should think about going all out to get him on board before the end of this transfer period.

Mark Andrews fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Mark Andrews 2025 Fantasy Football Snapshot Andrews' 2024 TE1 finish masked career-low target share. Ravens return same pass-catchers; target rebound remains uncertain. Touchdown upside intact, but consistent TE1 days may be over. Get personalized fantasy football insights based on your league settings with FantasyLife+. Your league is unique, your advice should be too. Head to and use code ROTO20 for 20% off. Patrick Daugherty, 2024: Andrews somehow turned in one of the more disappointing TE campaigns of the 2024 fantasy season despite ranking as the TE6 in total fantasy points when all was said and done. The 11 touchdowns he finished with led the position, as did his 10 end zone targets, but Andrews averaged the worst target share of his career (15 percent) in 2024 and was the subject of trade rumors for much of the offseason. What's Changed: The Ravens return all of their primary pass-catchers from last season. Andrews is entering the final year of his contract, and the 28-year-old is years removed from the player he was in 2021 when he caught 107 passes for 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns, but he still figures to be a key part in the Ravens' passing game this season. The question, however, is whether or not he will see his targets rebound to the 7.8 mark he averaged from 2021 to 2023, or if the 4.1 targets/gm he averaged last season will become the new normal. 2025 Outlook: Is this the year Isaiah Likely becomes a thing? Head coach John Harbaugh said earlier this offseason that he wanted to see Likely be an all-pro this season, but that's all on hold now as he works back from surgery to repair a bone in his foot. Andrews comes with plenty of touchdown upside, but he'll need more consistent volume to pay off for fantasy managers this season. It's too early to say for sure, but Andrews' days as a consistent TE1 may be gone. **Projections from Spotlight Sports Group Go to: All players | QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs

Former Patriots Captain Doesn't Seem Interested In NFL Comeback
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Part of this offseason for the Patriots' front office and coaching staff involved saying farewell to a number of players left over from the previous regimes of Bill Belichick and Jerod Mayo. That included the departures of several captains. Perhaps the most surprising of those moves was the release of David Andrews. While the center was coming off a serious shoulder injury suffered last season, he was an eight-time team captain and two-time Super Bowl champion with the team. He joined the team as an undrafted rookie in 2015 and built what should be a Patriots Hall of Fame resume with the team, but he wasn't given the opportunity to even try to make the roster in 2025. Andrews had varied feelings on the matter but eventually seemed to be at peace with his retirement. Now, he's leaving no doubt about that matter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - SEPTEMBER 19: David Andrews #60 of the New England Patriots looks on during the national anthem prior to an NFL football game between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium on September 19, 2024 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. MoreWith free-agent signee Garrett Bradbury not looking great in training camp, and with rookie Jared Wilson settling in at left guard instead of center, the Patriots have been giving more reps to Ben Brown, who put forth some ugly performances last year for New England. That situation led to a number of people tagging David Andrews on X and asking if he's available to return to the field to save the day for New England. Yet Andrews had a very simple reply to numerous tweets: A GIF of DJ Khaled excitedly saying, "Let's golf." Those replies are in line with most of Andrews' posts on X these days, as he's commented on how he's traded fully padded practices for days on the golf course. So, with his newfound love of summertime golf, don't expect Andrews to head to Foxboro to clock in for work any time soon. More NFL: Shocking Patriots Prediction Could Shift Balance In AFC East
