Description of this Book
What were the dangers facing the Everest expedition? Which other countries were trying to conquer the mountain? How were Hillary and Norgay selected for the 'final push'? Travel back more than 50 years to the greatest climbing challenge in the world. Any mountaineering team that aimed to reach the top of Everest needed expert planning, the latest clothing and equipment, and terrific courage and endurance to tackle the Earths highest peak. Read about the problems faced by the climbers, such as deep cracks or crevasses in the ice, sheer cliffs, roaring avalanches and hurricane-force winds. Find out how the team moved their camps and supplies up the massive mountain, until two men made the dash for the top--and became global heroes.
