Earl Denman was a Canadian mountaineer, who tried to climb Mount Everest in 1947. His expedition was very different from the large-scale efforts by British mountaineers in the 1920s, 1930s and 1950s. He had little experience, having trained by climbing the much smaller Virunga mountains in East Africa; he was accompanied only by two Sherpas (one of whom was Tenzing Norgay, later to make the first ascent of Everest); and he had inadequate money, equipment and fuel. In addition, he entered Tibet without permission. His attempt failed, without even reaching the North Col. ==References== * ''Alone to Everest'', by Earl Denman * ''Everest'', by Walt Unsworth * ''Man of Everest'', by Tenzing Norgay and James Ramsey Ullman 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earl Denman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
