Hillary and Norgay


This is a comparison between "The Final Assault" from "High Adventure" by Edmund Hillary and "The Dream Comes True" from "The Tiger of the Snows" by Tenzing Norgay. There are quite a few differences between their stories, but also some similarities. Hillary's story makes Norgay seem weaker and almost less of a partner than he really is. On the contrary, Norgay's story completely acknowledges the teamwork that he and Hillary had, never once putting him down. Both men rightfully won awards after their courageous success of Mount Everest, deserving each one. No matter which story is more accurate, the main point will be that Norgay and Hillary made one of the greatest mountaineering accomplishments for decades to come.

Tenzing Norgay Adventures

This is a website dedicated to Tenzing Norgay. His son created it and keeps it updated. It is mainly about Tenzing Norgay Adventures, a trekking company "to provide fellow adventurers with safe and unprecedented journeys to the Himalayas" [http://www.tenzing-norgay.com]. Tenzing founded it himself in 1978, and his son continues to guide fellow mountaineers.

Did someone beat Norgay and Hillary? This site is an older news article on this subject. It is brief and informative, but doesn't tell the answer to our question.
