Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary each tell their story,
culminating in their thrilling ascent of Mount Everest. Tenzing
Norgay grew up in Nepal, herding yaks in the shadow of Chomolungma,
the mountain also known as Everest. He has always dreamed of
climbing to the top. He becomes a guide, leading treks through the
Himalayas, and finally attempts the highest mountain himself, but
doesn't make it. Across the ocean, in New Zealand, Edmund Hillary
grew up tending his father's bees. He climbed his first mountain at
sixteen and has climbed all over the world ever since. He tries
Everest, with no success. In 1953, the two men set out on the same
expedition to climb Everest. Their party numbers four hundred,
counting all the guides and porters. But the climb is grueling, and
eventually Norgay and Hillary are the only two determined to
continue. They tramp over windswept glaciers, crawl across rope
bridges, hack footholds in the ice ... until finally they reach the
top of the world! This remarkable true adventure story, told in a
dual narrative, includes illustrated backmatter rich in geography,
history and science. Key Text Features author's note bibliography
