There Are No Giant Leaps, Only Baby Steps
May 29, 1953, is a historic day in the mountaineering world. Two mortal souls, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed atop the Mt. Everest, the tallest peak in the world. But it didn’t happen in one go. In fact, the attempts to climb Mt. Everest started way back in 1921. The team failed to reach the summit in the first two expeditions in 1921 and 1922. Then in 1924, a miracle happened. Two of the expedition members, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached as close as 800 meters away from the peak. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t in their favour and both of them disappeared into thin air. we largely focus on Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay but only a few celebrate the attempts of George Mallory. If the climb of 1953 was a giant leap, then the expeditions of 1921, 1922 and 1924 actually built the staircase from where Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay took that leap.
