    they say it's almost impossible to pull someone over the lip of a crevasse by yourself. the guy tensing climbed Everest with, Edmund Hillary, was 6'3 or 6'4. they were roped together. an ice bridge over a crevasse collapsed under Hillary and tensing pulled him up over the lip of the crevasse by himself, a feat of super human strength. the day after they had returned to the base of Everest, Tensing walked to his home village thirty miles away in one day. he was a legendarily strong human being and (I think) is the secret of how they managed to do it. the word legend gets bandied about but he really is a legend.

    the guy who climbed Everest with tensing norgay was six feet three. It's supposed to be impossible to pull someone over the lip of a crevasse. the big guy, roped to norgay, fell into a crevasse. tensing norgay, a little Sherpa, pulled him out of the crevase up over the lip of the crevasse by himself. after they got down from climbing Everest he spent one night at base camp then walked thirty miles home in one day. he was legendarily strong even among sherpas.

      Actually this is all true. Hillary was a very tall man, and he was always grateful that Tenzing saved his life. The event happened prior to the historic Everest climb.

    i'm crying this is so sad. How do you not know a legend like this? He was treated like a zoo animal. He died so prematurely and dealing with this kind of treatment for 30 years is the reason

      Tenzing Norgay lived out the remainder of his 71 years doing what he loved in Darjeeling, India. He was and is very, very highly regarded there and also in many other countries. Kings and queens have given him awards and honors.
      His son Jamling runs the mountaineering/trekking company that Tenzing started, Tenzing Norgay Adventures.
      (I'm friends with one of his children so I can assure you he did not have a short life due to being treated like a zoo animal.)

    His son said if he'd known it would lead to the over commercialization of climbing Everest he may not have climbed it. At least he can take his carton of Winstons on his next climb and smoke them at the top.

    Is it any wonder Tenzing Norgay was a media darling? He was such an attractive man who had accomplished something incredible. It troubles me to see people "Monday morning quarterbacking" the narrative. If the critics were there alongside Norgay and Hillary, I might attribute some modicum of possibility to the stories. Every time I see a Sherpa in videos carrying incredible weights around tough regions, like the Khumbu region, I have no problem believing that Norgay could have pulled Hillary from a crevasse.

      what are you talking about? Did you see his reaction in the end? He enjoyed it. and he also enjoyed his time doing lectures and teaching in the US on the finer techniques of climbing, even leading expeditions to Mt Rainier. and Sir Hillary also enjoyed his time on TTTT, as you can see his reaction the entire sequence. In your mind, everyone is a victim. Chill out.

  • @slim590
    @slim590 3 роки тому +5

    Tenzing was strong because he was a true Nepalese Gurkha (even though he was not in the army). he was naturally strong and the food he ate was organic. So, if there was a bear or animal during the climb, I think Tenzing would have risked his life by trying to kill it and save Edmund.
