- RelativesTenzing Norgay Trainor(Grandchild)
- Together with Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first to climb Mt. Everest.
- If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.
- If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest.
- 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 needed to go... the pull of Everest was stronger for me than any force on earth.
- To travel, to experience and learn: that is to live.
