BS. Climbing was first done by crazy Mountain Kids, then the big state sponsored expeditions started (a first that was the north and south-pole), GB missed both and shifted to the biggest mountain with GB "Won" the race, hence the name of Everest as the "third pole". A modern (new age) expedition looks more like that (no Sherpas no help from others who don't climb): http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP10/climbing-note-siegrist http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP10/climbing-note-siegrist Thalay Sagar with Stephan Siegrist and Rob Frost
