George Mallory first climbed Mount Everest in 1921 when the 13th Dalai Lama permitted, for the first time, the expedition of Everest. Before 1921, there were no recorded expeditions. George Mallory then went back in 1922, 1923, and 1924 until he died in an unsuccessful, or some may argue a successful summit. In the event that it was a successful summit, which is not recorded and has not been proven true, George Mallory would have been the first to reach the summit opposed to the recorded statement that Sir Edmund Hillary and his expedition partner were first. Nonetheless, George Mallory did not return from the mountain on his last expedition.
