The debate over who first summited Mount Everest revolves around two key figures (or groups of climbers): George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, who attempted the summit in 1924, and Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, who made the first officially recognized successful ascent in 1953. The key controversy is whether Mallory and Irvine reached the summit before they tragically disappeared, making them the first humans to stand atop the world’s highest peak. Let’s explore this debate in detail, presenting the historical background, the arguments supporting each side, and the evidence used by various parties.
