On May 19, 2012, a six-member team of the Indo-Tibetan border Police
(ITBP) scaled Mount Everest. The attempt was part of the golden jubilee
celebration of the ITBP.
The ITBP had scaled the Everest three times earlier but this was the
first time they plan to ski down from the Chinese side to create a
world record. More than 15 attempts to ski down the Everest from the
Chinese side have failed in the past owing to various reasons and in
order to keep a record of this expedition, the ITBP team would be
wearing camera-mounted helmets specially procured from Japan.
