EVEREST'S FIRST CLIMBERS: You'll Never Guess The OTHERS - 1953 Thru '63 #shorts #everest

MANY KNOW THAT THE FIRST TO CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST WERE HILLARY AND NORGAY IN 1953.

Do you know who climbed it next?

In 1956 four Swiss climbers climbed it via the southeast ridge route, Marmet, Schmied, Reist and von Gunten. Then in 1960 three Chinese became the first to summit via the northeast ridge: Gombu, Yin-wa Hey and fu chu wang. And in 1963 six Americans summited Jim Whitaker and Nawang Gombu, Barry Bishop, Lute Jerstad via the southwest ridge, and Tom Hornbein and Willie Unseold climbed it via the impressive west ridge and north face, and descended via the southeast ridge, becoming the first to do a traverse of the mountain.

Those are the first 15 to climb Mount Everest

HERE IS AN INTERVIEW WITH Ed Hillary from 2004 talking about giving back to the Sherpa:

Here is a fascinating interview with Sir Edmund Hillary that you will enjoy:

I think the Chinese climbers found Irving, ( Mallory’s climbing partner) and retrieved his camera but after over 40 years on the mountain they couldn’t develop the film.

Hillary & Tensing where two great Climbers . . . My admiration !!

[Smachfest]

Several teams climbed Everest long long before Hillary. But they were not 'recorded' to have reached the summit. (George Mallory, 1920s)

These dudes did it in thermal underwear and fur coats. Insane.

28th of May 1953.
Since then one out of ten have died, so now 200 bodies (out of 300 deaths) are still up there.

I grew up thinking that it was Hilary and "Sherpa Tensing" Props for using his proper name.

First to do a traverse and at the time, the highest recorded bivouac

Without pictures from
George Malory's camera, we will never know if he
summited Mt Everest!

[DonnaBrooks]

Has anyone else traversed Everest since that first pair of Americans? I'm impressed with anyone taking a different route down from the one they came up.

Thank you for sharing this video, I look forward to your next one 👍👍

[Letmeslideinyou]

What about the sherpas? How many of them summited everest?

[debsam]

I still think Mallory/Irvine reached the summit first but it can’t be proved 😢

[ivaspasova]

Thank you for all the videos. Coming originaly from Bulgaria I' d like to know if that is true, please? : Hristo Ivanov Prodanov (Bulgarian: Христо Иванов Проданов; 24 February 1943 – 21 April 1984) was a Bulgarian mountaineer. Prodanov was the first Bulgarian to climb Mount Everest, doing it via the most difficult way—the West Ridge—as well as alone and without oxygen.

Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld’s accomplishment was amazing. One of them, I think it was Willi said, when asked about the conditions in the Hornbein Couloir, “There were lots of hand holds, most of them portable.”

How many times do tour Sherpas make the trip before they stop?

[MineTyber]

More impressive for me is expedition from 1920 when they were truely the first people there. They need to explore and make maps of the terrains. This guys almost did it but 600m befere summit they were hit by avalanche. None from 4 climbers died but a lot of porters died, and climbers rescue some of them

[rozsheehy]

Back in the good ol' days when they had room to move and it wasn't so easy.

Zdobywcy Everestu! Dwaj wielcy wspinacze.👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇱. W roku 1953 był to nie lada wyczyn. Didi

[lahicks]

Actually, the first to climb it was the sherpas.
