In 1953, Tenzing Norgay became, with Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. As climbing sirdar, in charge of the sherpas who provided the backbone of the expedition, Tenzing's contribution to the triumph was immense. However, his personal story has remained little explored.
