Experience the gripping tales of the daring souls who attempted to climb Mount Everest in 1922-1923. Despite not reaching the peak, their endeavors marked significant milestones in mountaineering. The narrative begins with George Mallory and Guy Bullock, who discovered the northern approach to Everest during the 1921 British Reconnaissance Expedition. Although their expedition was exploratory, Mallory became the first European to set foot on Everest, reaching an altitude of 7,005 metres. Their findings paved the way for the 1922 expedition, where George Finch made history by using oxygen for the first time and reaching an altitude of 8,320 m - the first human to climb above 8,000 m. However, the expedition was not without its tragedies. Mallory and Col. Felix Nortons second attempt ended in an avalanche that claimed the lives of seven native porters. This podcast is a tribute to their courage and determination. - Summary adapted from Wikipedia
