The Assault on Everest - 1922

4/5 ( ratings)

Expeditionary Charles Granville Bruce, brigadier-general and president of the Alpine Club, led this first British ascent with the mission to summit Everest. With him was George Mallory, who had participated in the reconnaissance mapping mission to Everest in 1921. A year later, with a total of 160 men, theirs was the first expedition to use bottled oxygen; their equipment and clothing were crude, even suicidal, by modern standards; yet their daring, tenacity, and careful records paved the way for all future endeavors to summit the world's tallest mountain.
