This Week in Outdoor History: Mount Everest

Filed in archive Outdoor News by Terah Shelton on May 27, 2007

This month, Samantha Larson, Appa, Rob Baber, and Bear Grylls have all made history on Mount Everest. And while their achievements are indeed noteworthy, one accomplishment - arguably the most significant event in outdoor history - on Everest started them all.

May 27, 1937: Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened.

May 29, 1953: Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

May 31, 1961: South Africa became an independent republic.

June 4, 1892: The Sierra Club, led by John Muir, was incorporated in San Francisco
