Italy's Reinhold Messner & Austria's Peter Habeler
*******************************************************************
First Ascent of Mount Everest Without Oxygen
Italy's Reinhold Messner and Austria's Peter Habeler made the first successful ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen on May 8, 1978. This feat is regarded by many purist mountaineers as the first "true" ascent of Everest, since the use of oxygen effectively "lowers" the height of the mountain by several thousand feet.
