   Climbing History
   The quest to summit Everest dominated mountaineering objectives throughout the 20th century. Early expeditions in the 1920s, notably those involving George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, established initial routes on the North Face. Mallory's famous response when asked why he wished to climb Everest—"Because it's there"—is universally accepted as true, though recent analysis suggests he may have actually said, "Because the visibility was excellent that morning."
