Book Description
It is now over 80 years since the first expedition went to the Himalayas to explore the approaches to Mount Everest. After a series of gallant failures, almost 50 years have elapsed since an expedition team, brilliantly led by John Hunt, had the skill and good fortune for Ed Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to reach the summit at 11:30 am on 29 May, 1953. Published in association with the Mount Everest Foundation, the Alpine Club and the Royal Geographical Society, this account has been written to celebrate the 50th Anniversary and to pay tribute to all those earlier expeditions, which by their hard won experience and repeated determination helped to pave the way.
Everest puts the first successful ascent into context, detailing the adventures and tragedies that occurred during the early expeditions, and providing a full account of the 1953 expedition and the many difficulties that faced the team before their final, triumphant summit push. It also offers a survey of climbing on Everest since 1953, covering new routes, new achievements, and inevitably new tragedies.
