Holiday Ayo - Throughout the history of mountaineering, Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, has been climbed by thousands of people. Among the many climbers, there are those who are famous for creating stories of spectacular accomplishments.

Almost all climbers who have reached the summit of Everest have their own popularity. But indeed, among them there are those that are truly considered the most famous for us to know.

1. George Leigh Mallory

The first name that comes up when someone mentions a climber of Mount Everest is George Leigh Mallory. Mallory as you may already know, was a British mountaineer who went missing on an expedition to the summit of Everest in 1924.

Before disappearing with Irvine Andrew in 1924, Mallory had at least made several attempts to reach the top of Everest. Unfortunately, the various efforts made by Mallory have failed. Even in 1923, Mallory's climbing expedition not only failed, but also killed several of the Sherpas who were climbing with him.

2. Tenzing Norgay

Tenzing Norgay was a key climber who seemed to have found the safest and most efficient route to reach the summit of Everest at that time. This is also supported by data that in 1952, he had managed to reach a height of about 8,600 meters along with a Swiss expedition. And the height reached by Norgay is a record height that can be achieved by mountaineers at that time.

3. Sir Edmund Hillary

Luck is certainly unfair to describe Edmund Hillary on Everest. To reach that peak, it is clear that he needs more determination, hard work, persistence and also sacrifice. And that's comparable then to what he got. Fame and popularity became eternal in the hands of Hillary.

Edmund Hillary is far better known than John Hunt, the leader of the British expedition to Everest in 1953 itself. Although as a whole the members of the expedition received abundant awards, in matters of popularity and the immortality of the name on Everest, it seems that Edmund Hillary has reached the most perfect level.

4. Reinhold Messner

Messner was the first climber in the world to reach the summit of Everest and descend safely without using oxygen cylinders. This feat was accomplished by Messner along with an Austrian mountaineer named Peter Habeler. And interestingly, a few years later, Messner returned to double his achievement by climbing Everest again without an oxygen cylinder solo.

5. Junko Tabei

In terms of achievements on the mountain, Junko Tabei not only succeeded in becoming the first woman to reach the summit of Everest, but she also appeared to be the first female climber in the world to successfully reach the 7 highest mountain peaks on 7 major world islands or better known as the seven summits.
