“Ever since the morning
of May 29, 1953, when
Tenzing Norgay and I became the first climbers to step onto the summit of Mount
Everest, I've been called a great adventurer”

| Climbers moving towards summit & Khumbu icefall I never imagined I could make it to the top of Mount Everest at age 80. This is the world's best feeling, although I'm totally exhausted. Even at 80, I can still do quite well - Yuichiro Miura... |

| Mount Everest from the top of Mount Gokyo Ri
“When I rest I feel utterly lifeless except that my throat burns when I
draw breath… I can scarcely go on. No despair, no happiness, no anxiety. I have
not lost the mastery of my feelings, there are actually no more feelings. I
consist only of will. After each few meters this too fizzles out in unending
tiredness. Then I think nothing. I let myself fall, just lie there. For an
indefinite time I remain completely irresolute. Then I make a few steps again.”
– Reinhold Messner...

You do not climb a mountain like Everest by trying to race ahead on your
own, or by competing with your comrades. You do it slowly are carefully, by
unselfish teamwork. Certainly I wanted to reach the top by myself; it was the
one thing that I had dreamed of all my life. But if the lot fell to someone
else, I would take it like a man, and not a crybaby — for that is the mountain
way – Tenzing Norgay...
