NAIROBI, Kenya Jun 30 – Capital FM has officially partnered with Kenyan mountaineer and expedition leader Martin Mumo as the Official Media Partner for Project Everest 2027, an ambitious expedition that will see the climber attempt to summit Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain.

📻 Breaking It Down

The partnership marks the next chapter in Martin’s mountaineering journey following his successful ascent of Ama Dablam in 2025 through the Beyond the Summit expedition.

Project Everest 2027 is expected to become one of the most ambitious mountaineering expeditions ever undertaken by a Kenyan and among the most significant from Africa.

Through the partnership, Capital FM will document Martin’s preparation, training and key expedition milestones across its radio, digital, editorial and social media platforms as he prepares for the Everest summit attempt.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, Capital FM Senior Manager for Corporate and Brand, Elvis Kittony, said the partnership reflects the station’s commitment to telling inspiring Kenyan stories that showcase resilience, ambition and determination.

“Martin has already demonstrated what courage, discipline and commitment can achieve. As Capital FM, we are proud to walk this journey with him and share it with audiences across the country,” Kittony said.

He added that the project represents more than just a sporting expedition, describing it as a story of perseverance and belief that resonates beyond mountaineering.

For Martin, however, the Everest expedition carries a deeper purpose beyond reaching the summit.

“Everest is a global platform, a continental statement and a national milestone. Storytelling is therefore an integral part of this journey.”

Martin said he hopes the expedition will inspire more Africans to challenge perceived limitations while helping grow interest in mountaineering across the continent.
