Other Everests
A hundred years after the tragic 1924 British Everest expedition, this collection explores the wider social and cultural history of the mountain. Mount Everest looms large in the popular imagination. Since the deaths of mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine in 1924, histories of the mountain have overwhelmingly focused on the mythologies of western male adventure and conquest. But there are many more stories waiting to be told. Other Everests brings together new voices and perspectives on the historical and cultural significance of Everest in the modern world. The book shines a light on the overlooked role of local people and high-altitude workers, while also revealing the significant contributions women have made to climbing the mountain and writing its history. It explores the depiction of Everest in a range of media and investigates how the forces of nationalism and commercialism have shaped many different ‘Everests’. After years of exploitation, Indigenous people are now

Everest 1922
Though it remains by far the world's most famous mountain, in recent years Everest's reputation has changed radically, with long queues of climbers on the Lhotse Face, lurid tales of frozen corpses and piles of high altitude trash. It wasn't always like this though. Once Everest was remote and inaccessible, a mysterious place, where only the bravest and most heroic dared to tread. The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama and incident, populated by a set of larger than life characters straight out of Boys Own and Indiana Jones. The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead. Using diaries, letters, published and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey creates a rich character driven narrative, exploring the motivations and private dramas of key individuals and detailing the back room politics and bitter rivalries

After Everest
This mountaineering classic is the inspiring story of a Tibetan boy-the eleventh of thirteen siblings-herding yaks for his father in the mountains. The boy harboured but one burning desire: to stand one-day on top of 'the mountain so high that no bird can fly over it'-Mount Everest. Running away from home twice, he persevered in following his elusive dream, forever coming close yet remaining far away. His fortunes changed at last at the age of forty when he was selected as one of the British 1953 expedition of 400 men. Paired with Edmund Hillary, a New Zealand climber as gifted as he, they became the first in human history to conquer Everest. Suddenly Tenzing was world-famous. Yet with the same sense of wonder, he navigated the many projects that came his way. He chose only those that were fulfilling in challenges generously shared with others. Although he never became a lama, his life well-lived remains a ringing tribute to Zen and the art of mountain climbing. Tenzing Norgay was
