he hailed from Newsy Land.

Another thing to note
no matter how we thirst
both he and Sherpa Tenzing
never said who was the first.

Prompt: One of the most monumental achievements from the 1950s was the first human ascent to the summit of the tallest mountain on Earth, 29,000 ft. Mount Everest, located between Nepal and Tibet. It was made on 29 May 1953 by Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and British explorer Sir Edmund Hillary.
