The First Conquer's Of The Mount Everest
Mount Everest - Himalaya
English climbers were the first ones to conquer the Mouth Everest debacle. Before World War IInd, three English expeditions were sent to the north of Himalayas, which is the Tibetan side of the Mount Everest. Twice the climbers reached the altitude of 8,600m, but unfortunately failed to summit.

The southern side of the Mount Everest, that is the Nepalese side of the mountain was opened to the mountaineers after World War IInd. After the occupation of Tibet by China, the mountaineering expeditions toward Mount Everest began from the Nepalese side. On 29th May, 1953, after three decades of immense attempts, man finally reached the highest-lying point on Earth. The winning team of the first climbers of the Mount Everest consisted of Newzealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.

Other Firsts
Since the first successful ascent, many adventurers tried various firsts at other alternative routes on both the north and south sides of the Mount Everest. More than 600 climbers from 20 countries have climbed the Mount Everest summit and Everest climbers age range from 19 to 60 years.

  • Italy's Reinhold Messner has climbed Mount Everest twice without oxygen, once in four days. He is also the first climber to climb the Mount Everest solo, which he did in 1980.
