Reaching Everest's Summit
Paperback
(Gareth Stevens Pub Jan. 1, 2015)
Before 1953, no one had ever reached the top of Mount Everest. The highest mountain in the world, Everest was finally conquered by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on a May morning. Many people were inspired by their accomplishment and thousands have attempted to replicate the success of their ascent. Readers learn how Hillary and Tenzing climbed this huge peak and how their feat affected future climbers. Sidebars provide information about the dangers of climbing Mount Everest as well as the history of tragedy on the mountain. Full-color photographs of the majestic mountain and their historic climb keep readers engaged throughout this volume.
