The famous Hillary Step near Everest’s top is gone. It used to be the last big obstacle to the summit. Now, instead of a near-vertical rock wall, it’s an easier ~45° snow slope.

By @foxnews "On this day in 1953, Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, became the first explorers to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The final 40-foot rock wall that climbers have to scale to reach the summit is named after Hillary. In this photo, a climber prepares to descend the “Hillary Step” as he makes his way down from the summit of Mount Everest. #MtEverest #Everest #mountainclimbing #hillarystep #edmundhillary #tenzingnorgay #nepal Photo Credit: AP/Alpenglow Expeditions, Adrian Ballinger, File" via @PhotoRepost_app
