70 years ago - on 29. May 1953 - Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first people to reach the "roof of the world", the 8,848 meter high Mount Everest. 25 years later, Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler also enroll in the Alpine history books. They are the first to succeed in defeating Everest without additional bottle oxygen. For the 70th anniversary of the first ascent, BERGWELTEN tells the moving story of the highest peak on earth.
