Everest : the remarkable story of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay / Alexandra Stewart ; illustrated by Joe Todd-Stanton.

Stewart, Alexandra (Alex) (Author). Todd-Stanton, Joe. (Added Author).

Summary:

"In the late morning of May 29, 1953, the sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing on the highest elevation of the world--and two men were there to witness it for the first time ever. Their names were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, and they had ascended Everest. This is the breathtaking story of how two very different, yet equally determined, men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds, and death-defying ridges to reach the top of the world's highest mountain"--Provided by publisher.
