Tenzing Norgay claimed that had he known he'd lose 25 pounds during his famous Everest ascent, he'd not have bothered taking his wallet.

It is the Everest Day on Monday. The mountain was climbed for the first time 70 years ago on this day, when Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary stood on its top.
