HILLARY / TENZING is a digital recreation of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s historic first ascent of the highest mountain on Earth, Mt. Everest, on May 29th, 1953. After decades of brave but unsuccessful attempts by expeditions from around the world, these two climbers, supported by a climbing team of 40 others and a supply team of nearly 400, were able to finally reach the highest point on Earth.

Hillary’s and Tenzing’s legacies extend beyond climbing as well, as they founded philanthropic organizations that are dedicated to supporting the local Nepalese community. For more information on these organizations, please visit:

ABOUT EX LIBRIS

Ex Libris aims to recreate moments of history in an accurate and engaging format. By using virtual reality technology, viewers are fully immersed in these experiences, allowing them to truly “witness history."

COMMITMENT TO ACCURACY

We at Ex Libris pride ourselves on the extensive research conducted for each of our projects in order to make them as historically accurate as possible. By working with the leading experts in the relevant fields, consulting as many physical and online sources as are available (such as university research libraries and state archives), and sorting through thousands of reference images, we try our best to deliver as accurate a product as possible. However, conflicting sources and scant information are challenges that we inevitably face, as are the limited visual details for many historical events that either pre-date the widespread use of photography or are unfortunately lost to history. We are always looking to improve the historical accuracy of each of our experiences and are committed to making necessary changes in future versions if warranted.
