It is almost 60 years since humankind accomplished
what many thought impossible. New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese
sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first people to reach the summit of the
world's highest peak, Mount Everest, on May 29, 1953. Since then many have followed in their footsteps. But the increasing number of climbers is leading to tension on the mountain, and even fatalities. Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Everest. |
