  NOVA Online | Everest | Tiger of the Snows: Tenzing Norgay
When Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Everest in 1953 with New Zealander Edmund Hillary, he had no idea how his life would change.
From that moment on, Tenzing became an ambassador for his people, the high altitude Sherpas of Darjeeling and the Khumbu.
Although he spoke 7 languages, Tenzing never learned how to write; however he wrote several books by dictation, and they provide a timeless account of an era when the high Himalayan frontiers were still unexplored.

  Tenzing Norgay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tenzing also took part in other climbs in various parts of the Indian subcontinent, and for a time in the early 1940s he lived in what is now Pakistan; he said that the most difficult climb he ever took part in was on Nanda Devi East, where a number of people were killed.
Tenzing and Hillary were the first people to conclusivly set their feet on the summit of Mount Everest, but journalists were persistently repeating the question which of the two men had the right to the glory of being the first one, and who was merely the second, the follower.
Tenzing's account a few years later sounded very different: he stressed the unity of such teams and of their achievements, shrugged off the allegation of being ever pulled by anyone, but disclosed that Hillary was the first to put his foot on the summit.

Norgay’s personal goal was because he is the son of the late Tenzing Norgay, who with New Zealand’s Sir Edmund Hillary first set foot on the mountain’s summit on May 29, 1953.
He is today the managing director of Tenzing Norgay Adventures, which his father founded in 1978 in Darjeeling, and is involved with a climbing club to help keep Nepalese children off the streets.
Norgay made clear in his talk the extent to which Breashears was in charge of the IMAX project, once even ordering a second take of climbers on rock above the South Col. But he said the expedition was successful because it treated the mountain with respect.

The silent salute of sinewy Sherpa Jamling Tenzing Norgay, son of the legendary Sherpa Tenzing Norgay is, however, tinged with remorse — in part, because “my father is not there among us”, and also because the way nature has been “vandalised by thoughtless adventurists”.
