The
history of the expedition of Mount Everest is
interesting, yet gruesome. Since the first
expedition in the year 1924, there were numerous
attempts made for the summit but the first
success came as late as in the year 1953. The
expeditions have till now claimed more than 400
lives. Following is the Timeline of the
expeditions of Mount Everest: -
1841: Sir George Everest, Surveyor General of
India from 1830 to 1843, records the location of
Everest.
1852: The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India
determines the Peak XV is the highest mountain
in the world.
1856: Surveyor Andrew Waugh completes the first
height measurement, declaring Everest to be 8840
meters high. (29,002 feet)
1865: Peak XV re-named Mt. Everest to honor Sir
George Everest, the Surveyor General of India.
Everest is known as Chomolungma in Tibet and
Sagarmatha in Nepal.
1923: While on a lecture tour in the United
States, a reporter asks Mallory why he wants to
climb Everest, and Mallory immortally replies,
"Because it's there".
1924: June 8th: George Mallory and Andrew Irvine
attempt the summit using oxygen and Irvine's
modified oxygen apparatus. Noel Odell, climbing
in support below, catches a glimpse of the
climbers at 12:50 pm ascending a "great rock
step" on the NE Ridge above. They never
returned. During the 1933 expedition, Andrew
Irvine's ice ax is found on the upper slopes of
the mountain at about 27,690 feet (8440 meters)
and approximately 250 yards (meters) east of the
First Step. Mallory's remains were found at
26,750 feet (8150 meters), on a line vertically
below the ice ax position. No evidence of a
successful summit bid has been found, nor have
any signs of the two climbers been found above
the Second Step, the key to the route. Despite
the lack of hard evidence, the debate on whether
they reached the summit of Everest continues to
this day.
1953: British Expedition and First Summit.
1953,May 26: First Assault by Evans and
Bourdillon from the South Col using
closed-circuit oxygen sets. The same day Hunt
leads a party of Sherpas from the South Col.
Evans and Bourdillon reach the South Summit at 1
PM at an elevation of 28,750 feet (8770 meters),
but are forced to descend due to the lateness of
the hour, strong winds, and lack of oxygen.
1953,May 29: Second Assault by Hillary and
Tenzing using open-circuit oxygen sets. They
leave Camp IX at approximately 27,900 feet (8500
meters) by 6:30 AM, and reach the S. Summit by 9
AM. After negotiating the 40 feet (12 meter)
Hillary Step, they are the first to reach the
summit of Everest, reaching the top at 11:30 AM.
After descending to the South Col, they are met
by George Lowe where Hillary states: "Well,
George, we knocked the bastard off!"
1955: The height of Everest is adjusted to
29,028 feet (8848 meters).
