in 1993 ,Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed to the top of Mount Everest.
The next challenge was to climb it without bottled Oxygen !!!
This was the goal of Austrain climbers peter Habeler and Rainhold Messner.
Dr Said they were crazy and told them not to try it .
They tried it anyway .
On 8 May 1978, they were about 800 metres frome the top of Everest .
They woke at 3a.m. and began preparing .
It took them two hours to get dressed .
Every breath was was precious and they used their hands to communicate.
Climbing was slow.
Messener thought he was going to burst like a balloon.
At 8,800 metres, They stopped and lay down every few steps because of the lack oxygen.
But Between one and two in the afternoon they achieved their impossible goal.
They reached the top of mount Everest without oxegen.
