At 11:30am on May 29th, 1953, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary became the first men to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
In effect, no expedition reached the summit of Everest without the assistance of legendary sherpas. Tenzing Norgay later became director of field training for the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling. In 1978, he founded a company, Tenzing Norgay Adventures, which offers trekking in the Himalayan Mountains. As of 2003, the company was run by his son Jamling Tenzing Norgay, who himself reached the summit of Everest in 1996. Tenzing died in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India in 1986. It’s clear that no expedition would have reached the summit of Mount Everest without the assistance of the legendary sherpas. Sherpa Tenzing’s phenomenal accomplishments are illustrations of the values that TENZING partners® delivers to its clients: dedication, commitment, timeless effort, and courage. The sherpas have also demonstrated the need for unity in teamwork, and TENZING partners® deliberately fosters inter-firm collaboration aimed at augmenting its clients’ and business partners’ perceived value of a joint engagement and of shared successes. |
