Bhotia Tenzing Norgay, an experienced and talented mountaineer who grew up in the Himalayas and dreamed of conquering Mount Everest since childhood. In 1953, after an unsuccessful attempt with a Swiss group, he secured the support of Gill Henderson, the secretary of the British Everest expedition. Together, they persuaded the expedition leader, Colonel John Hunt, to include Norgay in the team as a full‑fledged member, rather than just a porter and assistant. So Tenzing gets another chance to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
