Did you ever heard of scaling the world\u2019s highest peak without bottled oxygen? Yes, there are those who did that!<\/p>\n
In an interesting update for Everest climbers, the Government of Nepal<\/a> has recently honored two climbers who scaled Mount Everest<\/a> without supplementary oxygen.<\/p>\n Italian Reinhold Messner and Austrian Peter Habeler climbed the Everest peak without carrying bottled oxygen. It was around 40 years ago that the duo performed this rare feat, which seems tough even for imagination considering the temperature levels during that period.<\/p>\n Since the first attempt in 1953, thousands of climbers summitted the Everest peak. But, climbing without supplementary oxygen has been a dream for many until the duo proved it.<\/p>\n Nepali Tourism Minister Adhikari lauded the climbers at a ceremony held in Kathmandu recently.<\/p>\n
