What went wrong, and how did the survivors manage to make it back alive? This Deadly Expeditions tale transports listeners back in time to discover how one of the deadliest days on Mount Everest unfolded.

In the late morning of 29th May 1953, the sun was shining brightly on the roof of the world, a gentle breeze was blowing and two men were there to witness it for the first time ever...their names were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay and the roof of the world was Everest. This is the breathtaking story of how two very different yet equally determined men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges to climb the world’s highest mountain.

I 1953 lykkedes det Edmund Hillary som det første menneske nogensinde at sætte foden på verdens højeste punkt, toppen af Mount Everest. Verden havde fulgt åndeløst med. Ville det endelig lykkes at overvinde bjerget? Og var det overhovedet muligt for mennesker at overleve så højt oppe - eller ville de falde døde om? Dette er historien om Edmund Hillarys kamp for at nå toppen. Om forfrysninger, amputationer og livsfare. Om umådelig styrke, viljekraft og mod. Og om at opnå ting, selvom man kommer fra en fattig familie og får at vide, at man er en svækling.
