The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Tenzing Norgay

Only it is different now: so near, so close, only a little more than a thousand feet above us.

This time, with God’s help, we will climb on to the end.
- I needed to go . . the pull of Everest was stronger for me than any force on earth.
- It has been a long road. From a mountain coolie, a bearer of loads, to a wearer of a coat with rows of medals who is carried about in planes and worries about income tax.
- I have climbed my mountain, but I must still live my life.
- If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.
- I hope my twin brother will look exactly like me but more sporty.
- If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest.

Tenzing Norgay (1914-1986) was a pioneering Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer who, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary, became one of the first two individuals to reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. Born in the Khumbu region of Nepal, Norgay’s climbing prowess and experience as a high-altitude porter made him an invaluable asset in numerous expeditions.
His historic ascent with Hillary, part of a British expedition, was a landmark achievement in the annals of mountaineering. Tenzing’s humility and dedication to his craft earned him widespread admiration. He later played a crucial role in training and inspiring future generations of climbers. Beyond his mountaineering feats, Norgay also helped promote the welfare of the Sherpa community.
His legacy endures through the Tenzing Norgay Adventure Award, which honors excellence in adventure sports in India. Tenzing Norgay remains a symbol of courage, perseverance, and the spirit of exploration.
