Who was 2 person to scale mount Everest?
Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary are credited with the first official ascent of Everest in 1953 although in 1924 George Mallory and Andrew Irvine made an attempt at the final summit but never returned, hence leaving it an open question as to whether they were the first to reach the top. Mallory and Irvine were last seen high on the mountain but disappeared in the clouds. Mallory's body was found in 1999 at 8,155 m (26,755 ft) - about 700 m below the summit - on the North face but it is not known if he died while still trying to reach the summit, on the way down after reaching the summit, or on the way back down after abandoning the attempt on the summit. For years there was speculation as to which of the pair of Norgay and Hillary reached the summit first (which they perpetuated by insisting - accurately - that it was a "team effort"), but Norgay finally revealed that Hillary was the first, which Hillary later confirmed. The next team to reach the summit of Everest was Ernst Schmied and Jürg Marmet on May 23, 1956.
