    Book Description:
    When Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgyay scrambled up the last bit of ice to reach the summit of Mount Everest, they became the first people to stand on top of the tallest mountain in the world. For Hillary, the moment was his first great accomplishment—one that would propel him into public life and inspire the queen of England to knight him. Since that 1953 ascent, Hillary has been searching for ways to balance environmental protection of the Himalayan Mountains with the economic benefits tourists and climbers bring to the area. He has dedicated his life to helping the people, the Sherpas, who helped him to Everest's summit.
