Answer 6

I have read the books and watched their documentary,and I did not find out who was the first Ten zing says he was the one but of course Hilary cant be quiet... and so on. But it is not important we were not there and when they got there. For me they both, together and that`s all.

Try to find and read Tenzing`s book

(although he can not read and write) It is so good and quite funny when he describe the white people, and western life etc.
