70th Anniversary of Everest Conquest Celebrated by Norgay and Hillary Families.
The sons of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, the first people to climb Mount Everest, will inaugurate statues of their fathers at Tenzing Hillary Airport in Nepal's Lukla and release 70 commemorative coins to mark the 70th anniversary of the first Mount Everest summit. Both Peter and Jamling have followed in their fathers' footsteps to scale the world's tallest peak, albeit separately, and now want their children to keep up the family legacy.
