Kamet was the first summit over 25,000 ft (7,620 m) to be climbed, and was the highest summit reached until the first ascent of Nanda Devi five years later.
Smythe is best remembered for his mountaineering in the Alps as well as in the Himalayas, with his other discovered route including the Brenva Face of Mont Blanc.
