Who led an expedition to summit Everest in 1924 and what happened to him? When was the Summit finally reached for the first (documented) time?
Mallory led the expedition to the summit & his partner, Irvine in 1924. We don't know what happened to him. But in 1975 a Japanese climber discovered a English mans body.D:
After locating these facts, reflect on why people would want to engage in these types of extreme activities. Why would someone do that? Would you? Why or why not? Is it worth it to risk your life just to do something like this?
Because maybe they like the challenge, I think everyone should take on atleast a few great challenges in life, you never know when you might actually succeed. Maybe they like the challenge of being the first to do something. Thats a big deal. Snd I probably wouldn't do something like that because im not a good climber and I would most likely die knowing how darn clumsy I am. I don't think its worth my life. Nothing is worth my life, to me.
