Interesting the Wikipedia page has a slightly different take on the story, where a promise to the King kept them from scaling to the top of the peak. > The only confirmed attempt was in 1957 by a British team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Roberts. Climbers Wilfrid Noyce and A. D. M. Cox climbed to within 150 m (492 ft) of the summit via the north ridge, to an approximate altitude of 22,793 ft (6,947 m). Adhering to the word of honor given to the then King Mahendra, Noyce and his team descended without stepping on to the summit - thus publishing the only climbing record of the mountain a year later > There have been reports of a New Zealand climber, Bill Denz, making a successful yet illegal attempt to the summit in the early 1980s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machapuchare https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machapuchare
