down clothing, we donned our windproof
and onto our hands, we pulled three pairs

few good deep breaths and we were ready

feet, I asked Tenzing to move off.

I felt, was a shot down the North Ridge,
showing the North Col and the old route
which had been made famous by the
struggles of those great climbers of the
1920’s and 1930’s. After ten minutes,
I realized that I was becoming rather
clumsy-fingered and slow-moving. So I
quickly replaced my oxygen set
