[post_page_title]A race to the top[/post_page_title]
Some photos capture a moment in history that goes on to live forever. This photo was taken back in 1963 when the first American team of explorers climbed all the way to the summit of Mount Everest.
The equipment and clothing back in ‘63 weren’t near the standard of items used today. This made it even tougher, thanks to the 23 tons of supplies they took to base camp and the 900 porters they needed to get it there. In the end, only six made it to the top.
