This mountaineering classic is the inspiring story of a Tibetan boy-the eleventh of thirteen siblings-herding yaks for his father in the mountains. The boy harboured but one burning desire: to stand one-day on top of 'the mountain so high that no bird can fly over it'-Mount Everest.


Running away from home twice, he persevered in following his elusive dream, forever coming close yet remaining far away. His fortunes changed at last at the age of forty when he was selected as one of the British 1953 expedition of 400 men. Paired with Edmund Hillary, a New Zealand climber as gifted as he, they became the first in human history to conquer Everest.
