  • @DontGoBar tenzing WAS born in NEPAL, tenzing and hilary was a very good friends

  • who climbed first tenzing or hillary?

  • great vid

    everyone only interested in sir edmund

    but tenzing norgay is also the frist who got to the summit.

  • To continue:

    * it's more correct to say that Everest is the highest mountain in the world not the largest

    * Hillary did in fact take credit for being the first to step on top, but he did it, cowardly, after Tenzing died

    * May 29 was not Tenzing's real birthday; he, in fact didn't know when his real birthday was, so each year after the summit he celebrated his birthday on May 29

  • You've made a couple mistakes in your report.

    * his name is pronounced Tenz-ing, not Ten-zing

    * not all Sherpas become sherpas (there is a difference between those two spellings)

    * Tenzing and Hillary were not friends, they were climbing partners. Tenzing's true mountaineer friend was Raymond Lambert

    * Tenzing was not born in Nepal, he was born in Tibet, likely in Moyey in the Kharta Valley

    * not all Nepali villages are surrounded mountains, especially not those in the south
