Description: After Everest by Tenzing Norgay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A timely return of this Everest classic autobiography on the 70th anniversary of climbing Everest for the first time together with Sir Edmund Hillary. Publisher Description On 29 May 1953 Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered Everest, three days before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Before their success, Everest had claimed the lives of dozens of climbers, including George Leigh Mallory in 1924. Norgay, the descendant of generations of yak herders, was destined to become a llama, but his love for the mountains was that much stronger. He had but one dream all his life, despite seven sherpas dying in 1922, and that was to conquer Everest. For thirty years expeditions had been struggling to scale its fiendishly difficult icy slopes and he was part of every single one until the one with Hillary succeeded. No adventure enthusiast will want to miss this unique Buddhist perspective on climbing. Author Biography Tenzing Norgay was born in Nepal from Tibetan parents as the 11th of 13 children. He grew up near Everest, which Buddhists call Goddess of the Summit. He was sent away to become a Buddhist monk, but ran away to India where his sherpa career began and he took part in all Everest attempts since 1936.
