Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak has been climbed many times, yet few have reached the top and many have died trying. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay (Nepalese Sherpa) were the first recognized to reach the top in 1954 after three tries. However, 30 years prior to that it was believed that George Mallory and Andrew Irvine made it to the top of Mt. Everest. In 1924 they were seen 800 feet from the top when a monsoon hit and covered them. They were never seen again! Until his body was found in 1999... Of course, there was a difference in clothing and equipment over thirty years from Mallory to Hillary, but the guide was the real difference.
