Mt. Everest & the Himalaya / History

Everest has been opened for commercial mountaineering for already four decades though esoteric expeditions took place as early as the 1920s.

Competitive commercial and adventurous mountaineering took off following the first successful ascent of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary on the mountain in late May 1953. Since then many successful climbs have been mounted on Everest from various directions.

Many attempts have also failed, most of them in tragedy. Thus, a recent new name for the mountain and its foothills has emerged. It is called the Death Zone.
