| Description: |
On May 29, 1953, Tibetan-born Tenzing Norgay reached the top of Mount Everest and became a legend. Through courage, determination, and ambination, Tenzing transcended the poverty of his early years as the son of an immigrant yak herder in Khumbu. Later, he would surmount the elitism of the climbing world to become Tiger. |
| Synopsis: |
A portrait in observance of the first Everest ascent's fiftieth anniversary follows the life of Tibetan-born Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, from his life as an illiterate yak herder to his relationship with Sir Edmund Hillary and his accomplishments as a mountaineer. |
