In 1990, Tim Macartney-Snape became the first person to walk and climb from from sea level to the top of Mount Everest. It was Tim's second ascent, the first was in 1984 when he and Greg Mortimer became the first Australians to climb Mt. Everest.
Leaving Ganga Sagar on 5 February 1990 it took him three months to walk the 1200km from the Bay of Bengal, through India to Nepal. After two preparatory trips through the Khumbu Icefall to the Western Cwm, he left his team on 7 May to attempt the summit solo and without supplemental oxygen, carrying a pack with a tent, food, fuel and a movie camera to the South Col at 8000m. He achieved his second ascent of Everest at about 9.45 am on 11 May, the first to climb from sea to summit.
