Breathtaking photos and an intriguing narrative capture the allure of the world?s highest mountain - and the spirit of the many adventurous souls who have dared to attempt the ultimate climb. With a special focus on the first successful climb by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, this magnificent book touches also on the history of the mountain, earlier failed missions, and the effect that growing Himalayan tourism has had on local people and on the mysterious Mount Everest itself.
