Thank you for signing up to The Press and Journal newsletter. Something went wrong - please try again later. Sign Up A century ago (June 5 1921), a man died on a bleak Tibetan plateau. He was on the First, 1921, Expedition aiming to conquer Mount Everest; indeed he was the very first “martyr” to Chomolungma (to give the mountain its proper name).
