The highest mountain on earth and considered the premier guided climbing challenge, Mount Everest was first summited by Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmond Hillary in 1953. At 29,035 feet Everest is one of the fourteen eight thousand meter peaks and is known by the Sherpa as Sagamartha "Head of the Sky", or the Tibetans as Chomolungma "Mother Goddess of the Universe". The mountain is approached from the South Side via the renowned Khumbu Icefall and Western CWM. For more information contact www.mountaingurus.com or email info@mountaingurus.com
