Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay climbed Everest together, in addition to their team of supporters and Sherpa porters.
The last leg of the climb to the peak was done by Hilary and Norgay alone. It was actually Norgay that reached the peak first, followed by Hilary moments later.

the TRUE fact.
Tenzing Norgay was the FIRST person to set foot on the PEAK of everest, FOLLOWED by Sir. Ed Hillary.
The reason for Hillary to get credit was as it was his expecdition, but facts are facts and the person to reach the peak first was Tenzing.

Well I read somewhere that it was Hillary who really stepped to the top of the mountain before Tenzing. But it was nothing about being more smart or anything like that. From some point, only one person could proceed up at a time and Hillary went ahead followed by Tenzing. They both had decided not to disclose it to anyone and kept on saying that they both reached the top together until one of them disclosed it in a book in the 80s probably. Not really sure.
