In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to summit Mount Everest. Since then, thousands of people have summited the world’s tallest mountain. But, has anyone climbed Mount Everest alone?<\/p>\n

The answer is yes. In 1980, Reinhold Messner became the first person to climb Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen. But, he did have sherpas with him to help carry equipment. In 1988, Messner did it again, becoming the first person to climb Mount Everest solo, without any Sherpa support.<\/p>\n

Since then, a handful of other climbers have summited Mount Everest alone. But, it’s still an incredibly rare feat. So rare, that it’s hard to say exactly how many people have done it.<\/p>\n

Why would someone want to climb Mount Everest alone? For some, it’s a test of strength and endurance. For others, it’s about proving that it can be done. Whatever the reason, climbing Mount Everest alone is an incredible accomplishment.<\/p>\n
