WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR THAMBI APPRECIATION HIS CURIOSITY OBSERVING NATURE AND THE WONDERFUL NEWS HE BROUGHT regarding THE CON QUEST
OF EVEREST
Answers
Answer:
On Everest, it took many failures to make that first successful summit happen. George Mallory led multiple pioneering expeditions to the mountain, mapping out its terrain and forging new routes by trial and error. But Mallory’s obsession with scaling Everest would end in tragedy: on 8 June 1924, he set off from Camp 4 to the summit and was never seen alive again. Whether or not he ever conquered Everest is still a mystery.
After Mallory's tragic final expedition, there was a spate of attempts over the next two decades. None of these successfully reached the summit, but were instrumental in shaping some of the climbers who would contribute to the first conquest of the mountain. One of these climbers, a young Nepali Sherpa named Tenzing Norgay had distinguished himself in his mountaineering prowess on several attempts, going so far as to illegally enter Tibet to scale Everest from the North.

But beset by problems with equipment and oxygen, they had to abandon their attempt.
