Mountaineering AssociationWelcome to the Chomolungma summiteers association. This is a non-profitable organization founded by Everest summiteers of Juving VDC Solukhumbu District East Nepal. Registered in District administration of Kathmandu Nepal in 2004.Chomolungma is native name of Mount Everest in Tibet language, it mean goddess mother of the world. Radha Nath Sikandar India and Tejbir Budathoki of Nepal both surveyor from Dehardhun they explored the peak in 1852, that period they named the peak 15. Royal geographical society of British surveyor George Everest defined the highest peak in world latter, then renamed by Everest in 1865, Nepali historian Siromoni Baburam Acharya named Sagarmatha in Nepali language in 1956, it mean higher then the Sky or Heaven.

 

“The third pole of the earth” in 1933 Marcel Kurz named the Mount Everest in his book discovery of the Himalayas. The third pole generally means the Himalaya and Karokoram. From the psychological point of view. One could hardly find better designation of high mountains. As the South or the North Pole, the eight thousand meters high mountain peaks are geographic points without real or scientific value, the third pole represents more clear and dramatic goal. Here are steep slopes, storms, avalanches, retreat and death.

 

If you are resisting, you are reach the top and you have reached the goal. Never in life is the border between defeat and victory so clearly marked.

 

From a distance,Mount Chomolungma for its size is a singularly shy and retiring mountain. It hides itself away behind other mountain. On the north side, in Tibet, it does indeed stand up proudly and alone, a true monarch among mountain. But it stand in a very sparsely inhabited part of Tibet, from the Nepal side only its tip appears among a mighty array of peaks which being nearer look higher.

 

Mountaineers and explorer build up concept to climb this mountain from 1890 but officially and well-organized British climbing exp. Attempt first time in 1921 lead by George Mallory, they climb up to North Col around 7000masl.First ascent by British expedition members Sir Edmond Hillary (Newzeland) and Tenjing Norgey Sherpa (Nepal) in 1953 on May 29 via south Col route.
