About this video

The most famous physical feature on Everest, the Hillary Step, at 28,750 feet, is a 40-foot spur of snow and ice. First climbed in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the Hillary Step is the last obstacle barring access to the gently angled summit slopes. MANY believe that the earthquake in 2015 knocked a gigantic boulder loose, thus making it easier to ascend and descend this perilous landmark en route to and from the summit of Mount Everest.
