when did the man on the mountain fall
Old Man of the Mountain The first recorded mention of the Old Man was in 1805. It collapsed on May 3, 2003.[2]
Mount Everest In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society, upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. As there appeared to be several different local names, Waugh chose to name the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest, despite George Everest's objections.[6]
