Who climbed Mt. Everest first?
He climbed Everest with Reinhold Messner in1978. It was the first time Everest had been climbed without additional oxygen.
The first American woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest was Stacy Allison on the 29th May 1988.
Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing first climbed Mt Everest in May 1953. There are many people who climbed the Himalayas before them, but the duo reached the summit first. Himalaya was the highest mountain in the world. Also Mt Everest was the biggest mountain in the world. Mt Everest was named after Sir George Everest. But Sir George Everest died. SO THIS IS interesting.
