EVEREST
LEGENDARY VICTORS AND VANQUISHED
Peter Sherwood
For more than 80 years, Mount Everest has been the inhospitable and often deadly stage for human drama on a monumental scale. Of the many expeditions and solo attempts to climb the mountain, 3 events stand out: the mysterious disappearance of Mallory and Irvine in 1924; the first ascent in 1953 by Hillary and Tenzing; and the 1996 disaster. Together they make up the trilogy of triumph and tragedy that is explored in this book. Climbing the world?s highest mountain is a high-risk endeavour. The summit comes only with heavy physical and emotional (and financial) costs. Many are willing to pay those prices - and more - for a chance to stand on top of the world. Such is the powerful magnetism of Mount Everest.
