Climbing Mount Everest

Every explorer in the world dreams of climbing Mount Everest in the Himalayas. This mountain is
8,850 meters and is the highest place in the world. It’s also very dangerous and the weather changes all
the time: it is often windy and cold.
In the early 20th century, lots of expeditions tried to climb Everest but they couldn’t, and many
people died there. Finally, in 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay became the first people to get to
the summit of Mount Everest.
Edmund Hillary was born in New Zealand. He wasn’t a very sporty young person, but he liked
climbing and he had a dream. “One day I’m going to climb Everest,” he told a friend. He was serious, but
people thought he was crazy! In those days, everybody believed it was impossible to climb higher than
8,000: there isn’t a lot of oxygen up there!
When he was 33 years old, Hillary decided to climb Everest. At 6.30 a.m on May 29 th, Hillary and
Norgay left their camp and started climbing at 8,503 meters. They carried heavy oxygen bottles. They
were lucky because there were good weather conditions. Five hours later, at 11.30 a.m, they were on top
of the mountain! They spent fifteen minutes on the summit. The news of their climb was in all newspapers
and the two men became world heroes.
