1952 Swiss Mount Everest expedition
The 1952 Swiss Mount Everest expedition was an attempt to summit Mount Everest. Led by Edouard Wyss-Dunant, the expedition, which included Tenzing Norgay, reached a height of 8,595 metres (28,199 ft) on the southeast ridge, setting a new climbing altitude record and opening up a new route to Mount Everest and paving the way for further successes by other expeditions. Tenzing successfully summited the mountain the following year with Sir Edmund Hillary, the first successful expedition.
