Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay become the first two people to reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953
Hillary waved Norgay on, because it was his country.
On this day exactly 67 years ago, at 11:30AM on May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, become the first explorers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, which at 29,035 feet above sea level is the highest point on earth.
