Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay used ice axes to cut steps into the ice. They used ropes along with pitons and carabiners to belay each other inch by inch up the mountain.

How does Norgay say that Hillary describes him when he reaches the top of the crack?

When Norgay reaches the top of the crack, he describes Hillary as saying "Well done, Tenzing." This simple acknowledgment from Hillary carries a significant weight, as it recognizes Norgay's achievement and contribution to their successful climb of Mount Everest. Hillary's use of Norgay's first name, rather than a formal title or surname, reflects a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between the two climbers at that moment of triumph.

Why did Sir Edmund Hillary get his face on the five dollar bill in NZ?

In 1992 Hillary appeared on the updated New Zealand $5 note, thus making him the only New Zealander to appear on a banknote during his or her lifetime, in defiance of the established convention for banknotes of using only depictions of deceased individuals, and current heads of state. The Reserve Bank governor at the time, Don Brash, had originally intended to use a deceased sportsperson on the $5 note but could not find a suitable candidate. Instead he broke with convention by requesting and receiving Hillary's permission - along with an insistence from Hillary to use Aoraki/Mount Cook rather than Mount Everest in the backdrop.
