The early history of Everest exploration can be roughly divided into three stages. The Everest expedition first took place in 1893, but the three British expeditions in 1904 and 19 13 were not carried out because of the opposition of Tibetans, which can be regarded as the first stage. ? In the second stage, 198 1, the British Oriental team completed the first climb of Mount Everest, but in principle it did not reach the top. The third stage started from 1953, and the British mountaineering team reached the summit of Mount Everest for the first time in human history.

The mountaineering history of China began at 1958, and the mountaineering department of China State Sports Commission was formally established at 1958. Afterwards, members of the China mountaineering team successfully climbed Mount Everest on 1960, and the film "The Climber" was adapted from this story.

In the year of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the China Olympic torch relay chose the Everest section, and successfully passed the flame to the highest place on the earth, completing a rare feat in the history of the world Olympic Games.

Nowadays, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people climb Mount Everest, so that climbing Mount Everest has a very high commercial value. Because of the progress of science and technology, the risk factor of climbing Mount Everest has been much smaller than before. But even so, the number of people climbing Mount Everest has not risen to a very high level, because even if the risk factor is reduced, the cost of climbing Mount Everest may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which ordinary climbers can't afford, so climbing Mount Everest can only be counted as a game for a few people.
