Climbing the world’s highest peak was never an easy task. All mountaineers of the world cherish a dream to reach the top at least once. This desire led many to chase their dreams of climbing the Mount Everest since the beginning of the last century. A team attempted to reach  Everest from the northern (Tibetan) side in 1922. It was the first organised attempt to accomplish a victory over the world’s highest peak. George Mallory disappeared into clouds during the third attempt to climb the peak from Tibet in 1924. Seventy-five years later, his body was found on Mount Everest. No one knows whether he reached the summit before his death. On 29 may 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the summit from the southern side.
