Perhaps you're marveled at great feats of physical endurance. But many lead lives of daily, often-unrecognized adventure!

ntil 1953 no human being was on
record as having set foot on the summit of Mount Everest,
the world’s highest mountain. Several expeditions
from various countries had tried, but all had failed to
reach the top of the 29,028-foot Himalayan giant.
In the fall of 1952 some Swiss climbers made their second attempt at Everest with an impressive expedition that included some of the world’s best climbers. They had the finest and latest provisions—lightweight down parkas and mummy sleeping bags, equipment fashioned from aluminum alloys and canisters of oxygen.
