Best Answer
  • The first who climbed to mountain Everest are New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Tenzing Norgay
  • They reached the top of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, at 11:30 a.m. on May 29, 1953.
  • They were the first people to ever reach the summit of Mount Everest.
  • Before Hillary and Tenzing successfully reached the summit, two other expeditions got close. Most famous of these was the 1924 climb of George Leigh Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine. They climbed Mount Everest at a time when the aid of compressed air was still new and controversial. The pair of climbers was last seen still going strong at the Second Step (about 28,140 - 28,300 ft).

Sir George Everest lived long before Everest was first climbed; he merely recorded it for the first time, as Peak XV (or Peak 15).

It was not until after he died that the mountain was named Everest in his honour.
George Mallory climbed on Mount Everest in 1921, 1922 and 1924. His first proper attempt at the summit was in 1924 but nobody knows if he reach the top or not.
