He did this because he wanted to achieve something for his Family and Friends. He was already very into climbing and thought it was appropriate to 'climb the unclimbed'. So he joined the British exploring team. They started there climb up Mount Everest led by John Hunt. He was 33 when he started the climb up Mount Everest and it was the 29 of May!
