1126242 2010-08-10 23:50:00 The fact that I don't agree with your simple thought patterns hardly makes me a nutter.

As I said before, don't shoot the messenger. There are always two sides to every story.

The fact is that you have one opinion and others have a different opinion as to who got to the top first.

Just because others differ does not make them wrong.

What a ridiculous statement.

And I think you mean "you are" or "you're" and "quiet" :sleep

1126246 2010-08-11 08:14:00 Think about what you are really saying Zippity.

The two people who were there agree on who was first occording to published accounts.

Because you differ you are effectively calling both people liars. As they are both dead they can't refute your misguided opinion.

1126250 2010-08-11 09:56:00 I don't think Jesus has anything to do with it unless he was up there with them and can prove your theory. What's the point of making a statement that you refuse to back up. Nothing just being pedantic for the sake of it and winding people up with stories of nothingness gary67 (56)

Anything other than the documented accounts by Tensing and Hillary is speculation. If you are privvy to information given in confidence to you by Hillary, that you are taking to your grave with you, then you should have kept quiet in the first place.

It is quite possible to envisage one or the other physically helping the other over the last few steps, and by so doing causing the other to be "first". This is what teamsmanship and comradeship is all about.

...But in the absence of any statements by Tensing or Hillary to this effect, then the world has only the public writings and talks by them to go on.

It is no use you keep saying he was second, you should have kept your mouth shut.

The concept of "being first" anyway in the context of climbing Everest shows the ignorance of the popular press and populace of the day then and now. It is a meaningless and futile debate.
