Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain at 8,848.86 metres (29,031.7 ft) and thus a particularly desirable peak for mountaineers. This is a list of people who reached the summit of Mount Everest in the 20th century. Overall about 1,383 people summited Everest between 1953 and the end of 2000.[1] After 2000, the number of climbers greatly increased when the peak became more accessible and more popular. By 2013, 6,871 summits had been recorded by 4,042 different people.[2]
