Examples

“Today, with nearly all the great peaks already climbed (except Namcha Barwa, 25,700 feet, which the Chinese are reserving for themselves, having tried and failed three times so far), mountaineers try for new and harder routes, as well as faster times, forever narrowing the safety margin.”

“Namcha Barwa (7782 m) finally fell to the Japanese efforts. Two Japanese-Chinese expeditions recceed the peak in 1990 and 1991.”
