The mountain was first officially summited on May 29,1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary, NZ and Tenzing Norgay, an Indian Sherpa from Darjeeling.

Looked at some stills , haven't found video clip. Saw some sort of poppies(reddish orange) , probably Iceland poppies . The blue flowers were Bearded Iris ( Iris germanica) . The color looks slightly enhanced . If you want that color , in real life , try Himalayan Poppy ( 2 species of Meconopsis ) , if you live in Pacific NW , or milder(winter) parts of NY/NE , that also rarely get to 90F. Otherwise , doubt you'll quite get THAT blue. The mauve spikes look like some type of Echium . Outside of California , some varieties of Delphinium & Mullein (Verbascum sp.) will be closest to that look . Can't see the white well enough to tell . Anybody know where there is video, for a better look ?

I cannot provide an extensive list, but my husband is from this area. In his place I've seen roses do very well. Jasmine is another plant that does well. Of course, marigolds do well too, but they don't smell all that good :) They supposedly help keep the mosquitoes away though.
