उत्तर
- The word, 'husiar‘ means 'caution‘.
- The climb down from the summit was more difficult and dangerous than the climb up.
- There was a greater danger of slipping and falling into the Kangshung glacier below.
- Thus, even though climbing down took less time than climbing up, the author and Hillary had to be comparatively more cautious.
- With regard to this, the author notes that they needed 'husiar‘ while coming down.
