approached nearer than 50 miles to it's base and few travellers have ever seen it's upper slopes.
 The attempts which have been made to ascend some of Mount Everest's sister peaks of the Himalayas have usually been made through Nepal be- cause access to them through Tibet was not then open. The approach to Mount Everest through Tibet is said to be more accessible and presents greater prospects of success than from the Nepal side.
 Sir Francis Younghusband announc- granted him permission to attempt the ascent of the mountain by the Tibetar route It was Sir Francis, who as col onel commanded a British mission to the Forbidden City of Lhasa in 1903- 1904, opened Tibet to civilization.
 The trigonometrical altitude of Mt. Everest is 29,002 feet; it's probable height is 23, Al feet. The next known highest of the Himilayan peaks are Kinchinjunga, 2S,225 and K-2 or Bride Peak, whose altitude is 28,191 feet.
 The Duke of the Abruzzi. who reacn ed the top of Mount St. Elias in Alas ka, 18,024 feet, and who at one time held the record of farthest north in Arctic exploration, tried to climb K-2 or Bride Peak, in 1909 but failed be- cause from whatever point of the com pass he advanced he could find no way to attain the summit. At 24,60O feet he and his companions were in good phy- sical condition, although progress was slow and laborious; a thick mist warn- ed them that to go on would have been madness. This achievement of the Italian explorer, however, is the worlds record for mountain climbing. Bride Peak is in the Karakoram Him alayas. Besides it and it's two sister peaks, there are in the Himilayas no less than 75 peaks above 24,0OO feet, AS above 25, 900, feet, 16 above 26,OOo feet, and five above 27,OO0 feet.
 Some of the notable mountain climb ing feats, of history and the year in which the peaks of the various noun talns were attained, follows:
 1774, the Titus, the first true snow mountain; 17S6. Mt. Blanc's summit reached for the first time; 1911. the Jungfrau; 1912. the Finsteraarhorn: 1913, the ZeTmatt Breithorn; 1920, Pikes' Peak; 1854, the Matterhorn: 1855, the Mounte Rosa; 1865, the Mat terhorn; 1879, Chimborazo; 1883, the Cordillera; 1888, the Selkirks: 1897. Aconcaguar; 1898 hte Bolivian Andes and 1899. Sikkim in the Himalayas, l9OO9, Mount Ruwenzori. There have been no pre-eminent achievements by explorers since the last-named date.
