of New Zeal and, conquered Everest, t he world's highest mountain, May 29 , 1953. Born in a village high in the Himalayan foothills of northern Nepal, Norgay began mountain-climbing in his youth, and was a c limber with six expeditions attempting the monster mountain before it was conquered. Sixteen men died on the slopes attempting to scale its peaks. In the early days, Norgay fought his way up Nanga, Parbat, Katchnjunga and scores of the hundreds of Himalayan peaks, before the conquest of Everest. On his path through life he became a linguist, learning first his native tongue, Sherpa, then Hindi, Nepalese, Tibetan, the language of Pakistan, French, English, German and Italian. He was decorated with the St. George Medal by the Queen of England, became a lifelong friend of Nehru, late prime minister of India, and met and was acclaimed by both Sir Winston Churchill and President Dwight Eisenhower. "In 1970, Larry Pugsley, of Escondido, met Norgay in Darjeeling, India, and they became friends," the college announcement said. "In July, Norgay along with Pugsley will lead South American and African ventures, guiding 30 travelers through the mountains, rivers and forests of two continents, sponsored by Club Extrordinaires of San Diego. The climber is in California toengage in pre- expedition planning. Other personal appearances being made in the area include programs for the Los Angeles Adventurers Club and the Sierra Club. Norgay said, "I was a young man when many mountains outside of my own country. Among my favorites are the beautiful mountai ns of the Pacific Northwest, where I have climbed Mt. Rainier in Washington and Mt. Hood in Oregon. These mountains are not half the height of Everest, but the view is still magnificent and the thrill of reaching the top comes back."
