Title: Route of the 1933 Mount Everest Expedition - Darjeeling to Mt. Everest 1934 map Description: Route of the Mount Everest Expedition, 1933 - Darjeeling to Mt. Everest'. A map of the 1933 British Mount Everest expedition; it was the fourth British venture to the mountain. Following the reconnaissance mission of 1921 and the expeditions of 1922 and 1924, it was the third expedition specifically aimed at achieving the first ascent of Everest. Although the expedition failed to summit, in two separate attempts, Lawrence Wager and Percy Wyn-Harris, followed by F. S. Smythe, set a new altitude record for climbing without supplemental oxygen—a record that remained unbroken until 1978. During Wager and Wyn-Harris's climb, they discovered the ice axe of Andrew Irvine, who, alongside George Mallory, had vanished during their 1924 summit attempt. .
