Qomolangma was first conquered (征服)in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers. This doesn’t stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top. Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain.
