When we left Camp Nine on Friday morning. I was determined to get to the top on
this day. That morning I remember thinking, I was to get to the top even if i dewas
not afraid to die that day. We set out early and all the way from Camp Nine to the peak
we alternated.
I would take the lead and then Hilary. The man who follows when climbing has a
difficult job both in climbing up and climbing down. He is the anchor. The man going in
the lead cuts the steps and breaks the way.
In my pocket I had four flags. When we were still at Camp Four, Colonel Hunt gave me
three flags, those of Britain, the United Nations and Nepal. He charged me with the duty
of planting them on the top of the world.
"These three flags are in your care," he said.
"When you and Hillary reach the top, put them at the peak. I am sure that you and Hillary
are going to do it."
I told Colonel Hunt that I was carrying the Indian flag with me and I would like to be on
the top with the other flags. I had to ask Colonel Hunt's permission in his capacity as
leader of the expedition,
Indian Flag
Colonel Hunt said, "By all means, I am glad to know that you brought an Indian flag
After one hour of steady going, we cut across from the south face and started up the
west side where we had to pass up a steep line of rocks. This was slow and difficult. Once
we had cleared these, there was nothing barring our way to top but a snow-covered
incline, sloping less and less as it neared the top.
These last sixty or seventy feet up the top were not very dangerous. But we kept up the
same steady pace. And we reached the small, flattened summit almost together :
During the last fifty feet from the peak, Hillary and I were moving about twenty feet
apart. We were tied together with a rope Most of the time the rope was loose, but when
we went over dangerous ground, we drew it taut.
This rope was a symbol. It tied us together. One could not move without the other We
were not two individuals, but a team.

answer :- Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.
