In May 1952, the Swiss Raymond Lambert and the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay abandoned their attempt to climb Mt. Everest at 8,600 metres, because of devices which got damaged during the trip. They opened the way to the successful attempt of the British expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary who, one year later, reached the top. After fifty years, the Swiss guide Stéphane Schaffter organised an expedition in order to allow Lambert’s and Tenzing’s grandsons to reach the roof of the world.
