Jamling Tenzing Norgay ((ネパール語:जम्लिंग तेन्जिंग नोर्गे); born April 23, 1965) is a Nepalese Sherpa mountain climber.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Britain's Queen Elizabeth meets Nepalese Sherpa mountain climber Jamling Norgay, son of Tenzing Norgay, during a reception to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the ascent of Mount Everest in London )〕 He is the son of Nepalese Sherpa mountain climber Tenzing Norgay (who first climbed Mount Everest in 1953 with Sir Edmund Hillary) and Daku, his third wife. Jamling Tenzing Norgay himself later followed in his father's footsteps and climbed Everest in 1996 with a team led by David Breashears that also included mountaineer Ed Viesturs and Araceli Segarra, an experience documented in the 1998 IMAX film, ''Everest''. In 2002, he and Peter Hillary, the son of Edmund Hillary, were part of an expedition to climb Everest and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first ascent.〔(Everest Anniversary Team Makes Final Summit Attempt ), ''National Geographic News'', May 23, 2002. Retrieved May 5, 2011.〕 Norgay went on to write ''Touching My Father's Soul'', a book documenting his experiences on the summit attempt. The book was notable for the frankness with which it discussed the relationship between the often wealthy climbers and the Sherpas who obtain their incomes from assisting expeditions. Norgay's book was the first to discuss from the Sherpas' point of view the disastrous May 1996 climbing season, in which twelve climbers died. It noted, for example, that little notice is taken when Sherpas die, but much attention is focused when those lost are clients. Norgay is an alumnus of Northland College. ==Bibliography== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jamling Tenzing Norgay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
