Tenzing tells the story of the sherpa Tenzing Norgay who, along with Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first to summit Everest. Genden Phuntsok plays Tenzing, Tom Hiddleston plays Hillary, and Willem Dafoe plays expedition leader John Hunt.

I always thought it said something deeply true about humans how often Hillary and Tenzing were asked who ACTUALLY got to the top first.

But i like Tenzing's quote from his book where he finally answers it.

quote:

A little below the summit Hillary and I stopped. ... I was not thinking of 'first' and 'second'. I did not say to myself, there is a golden apple up there. I will push Hillary aside and run for it. We went on slowly, steadily. And then we were there. Hillary stepped on top first. And I stepped up after him ... Now the truth is told. And I am ready to be judged by it.

With recent events I'm sure this will draw even more attention. That region is brutal and majestic in its raw beauty.


In.

They missed a golden opportunity to make Sir Edmund Hillary, an Indonesian transexual in a wheelchair.

Will watch.

Also there was a recent documentary- got to find the name - where they believe climbers got to the summit in the 1920s. They died during descent.

Pretty cool. I have seen Everest from a tourist plane but would love to hike to Base Camp one day.

The explorers who did shite like this for the first time were amazing people.

Mallory/Irvine. They just started finding their bodies, since nothing can decompose up there. No camera on Mallory's person. He brought one in case he got to the summit. Rumor is the Chinese nabbed it.

Why would the Chinese nab it?

No clue, but that's a rumor going around. Google it and you can get some color on it. It's on the border of China & Nepal, so maybe it's going to be used as leverage in a border dispute, or push for more sharing of Everest tourism revenue. Who knows.

The Mount Everest mystery deepens
quote:

It is also possible, if not likely, that the film revealed Mallory and Irvine high on the mountain, perhaps even on top. This, of course, would rob the Chinese of the first ascent of Everest’s North Face, an accomplishment that occupies sacred space in the hearts and minds of the Chinese people
