Each one signed his own statement. I have a copy of Hillary's statement which I carry in my pocket. Itreads: "Kathmandu, June 22, 1953. "On May 29th, Tenzing Sherpa and I left our high camp on Mt. Everest for cour attempt on the summit. As we climbed upwards to the South Summit, first one and then the other would take a turn at leading. We crossed over the South Summit and moved along the Summit ridge. We reached the summit almost together. We embraced each other overjoyed at our success, and then I took photograph of Tenzing holding aloft the flags of Great Britain, Nepal, the United Nations and India." (Signed: EP. Hillary) There is another paper like this in English, signed by me. Thus, we will not take part in any controversy. As the statement says, Hillary and I embraced when we reached the top. We did as well as our bulky equipment ‘would let us. I remember saying to him: "We have done it.” But we couldn't hear. We had our oxygen mask on, First Thought My first thought on reaching the top was a sense of gratitude to God, that after having failed six times, He had blessed me with fulfilment of this desire I had held so long.
