Conquering Everest
by Kimberly M. Hutmacher
(1) Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth. (2) Its peak is located on the border between Nepal
and Tibet in China. (3) It is part of the great Himalayan Mountain range. (4) For many years, climbers tried and
failed to reach the summit of Mount Everest. (5) In 1953, the British put everything they had into giving it one
more try. (6)They hoped that their climbers would reach the top in time for the coronation of Queen
Elizabeth. (7) Ten different climbers from all over the world were chosen to make the trek. (8) In April and
May, supplies were relayed up the mountain, and camps were set up every 1,000 to 2,000 feet. (9) On May 29,
1953, two of the climbers set out for the summit from their camp at 27,900 feet.(10) On that morning,
Edmund P. Hillary (from New Zealand) and Tenzig Norgay(from Nepal) accomplished one of the greatest
climbing feats ever. (11) They were the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest. (12) When they returned
home, journalists kept asking the two men who reached the summit first.(13) Each time they were asked, the
response was the same: (14)“We reached it together, as a team.”
