Question

This rope was a symbol. It tied us together. One could not move without the other. We were not two individuals, but a team.
I have been asked many times, "Who was first?" When we were within reach of the summit. I did not think of who was going to be "first."


Can anyone make me clear that what is the meaning of first sentence i.e. I have been asked many times, "Who was First?" in the second paragraph.
