1. Tenzing left a red and blue pencil belonging to his daughter;

Bastard. That's a hell of a prank, even for a Dad!

"Where's my pencil, Daddy"
"At the top of the world's highest mountain"
"No, really where's my pencil"
"Tee-hee..."

[NickFitz]

Well, as nobody else seems to have bothered:

1. Tenzing left a red and blue pencil belonging to his daughter;
2. He also left an offering of sweets and chocolate;
3. Hillary buried a crucifix given to him for that purpose by John Hunt, leader of the expedition.
4. Oh, and they planted flags.

EDIT: ah, just seen EO already posted about the sweets and the cross - but not Tenzing's daughter's pencil

Mallory got there first and they should have found the photo of his wife that he'd said he was going to leave at the summit and was missing from his body when they found him in '99

[suityou01]

not close enough

its obviously an easy one to google, I was just wondering what you folks would consider leaving.
I liked the idea of a poem

but the people who thought about a religious offering were correct (and the sweets - alias)
they buried a cross, and some sweets

That's how I roll man

[EternalOptimist]

An olive branch.

Or a bottle of whiskey.

Or a poem.

Am I close?

Drugs paraphernalia?

60 years ago today, Edmund Hilary and Sherpa Tenzing reached the summit of Mt Everest.

they buried some bits and pieces there. What did they bury ?

have a stab before googling

Just read it on Twitter, so I'll leave it to others to guess as that's a bit like cheating really

Some turds and tissue paper?

They did admit to having a piss at the top

..

Mallory and Irvine?

[OwlHoot]

Their frostbitten ears?

Am I getting warm (unlike them) ?

Snow?

[Mich the Tester]

A frozen turd.

That would imply having a tulip somewhere on the way up, then carrying the turd to the top while it freezes due to very low ambient temperature, and then burying it. Why not bury a fresh turd at the top and allow it to freeze under the snow?

[minestrone]

2 frozen turds.

[DimPrawn]

Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)?

[barrydidit]

A toblerone, for when the Swiss guys finally got there?
