MT. EVEREST EXPEDITION
Even though the highest mountain in the world has been conquered many times
ever since its first conquest in 1953 by Sir E. Hillary & Tenzing Norgay, Everest is still as mysterious,
beguiling and magnificent as ever. Standing incredibly tall silhouetted
against the shared sky of Nepal and Tibet, this mountain has many names: Chomolungma, Sagarmatha, Qomolungma
or Mt. Everest. Which ever name one chooses, its mystery still lives
on...
Perhaps the most colorful story about the early attempts on Everest is
the one involving Captain J. Noel and his native companions. He disguised
himself as a Mohammaden and made a journey from Darjeeling through Northwest
Sikkim and round the north of Kanchenjunga in an attempt to reach Everest.
Unfortunately, he had to retreat back short of just sixty five kms from Everest when a posse of Tibetan
soldiers forced them to turn back.
Although there are a dozen or so routes on Mt. Everest, we follow the
classical route, traditionally the most reliable way to the summit
