August 8, 1786: Mont Blanc
Mont Blanc is a 15000+ foot mountain on the French-Italian border. It was climbed for the first time on this day August 8th, 1786. The French and Italians are still disputing whether the summit of the mountain is in French or Italian territory. Sounds like summit-envy to me.
