Edmund Hillary and Eric Shipton also photographed the peak
during a side trip on the 1951 Everest reconnaissance. Hillary
and others approached the peak a year later after the failure
of their Cho Oyu expedition. The first attempt on the mountain
was made in 1954 by a US team, mostly Californians, who trekked
all the way from the Indian border near Biratnagar. At the
same time a British team approached the mountain, but this
expedition was abandoned when Hillary became seriously ill
and had to be evacuated. In the autumn of 1954 a French team
attempted the peak, but did not reach the top. In the following
spring (1955), successfully ascents were made by three teams
of French climbers on successive days.
