It’s gotten to the point where more people remember the Sherpa than Sir Edmund.
(Getting older by the minute, this reminds me that when I was a kid nobody had ever climbed Everest. Or run a 4-minute mile. Or walked on the moon. But at least there is that much less history to study because I remember it.)

Tenzing paid a steep price for his attempts at social climbing.

Barefoot no less.I actually did a GIS for Sherpa children and the only ones I saw were toddlers.

That looks like Mt. Fuji to me. Did he travel halfway around the world to hide the flag? Because that would be a good joke.

I didn’t have to Google Tenzing Norgay but I DID Google GIS, and I still don’t know what it is.
The only one I knew anything about (and not much) is the geographical survey kind but I don’t understand how it could be for Sherpa kids.
Larry??
And Schearer — me too.
