I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "The first British Mont Blanc ascent was in 1788; the first female ascent in 1819. By the mid-1850s Swiss mountaineers had ascended most of the peaks and were eagerly sought as mountain guides. Edward Whymper reached the top of the Matterhorn in 1865 (after seven attempts), and in 1938 the last of the six great north faces of the Alps was climbed with the first ascent of the Eiger Nordwand (north face of the Eiger)."?
Answer:
What happened earlier, the first British Mont Blanc ascent or the first ascent of the Eiger Nordwand?
