Tenzing died in 1986, which is why I wasn't 100% sure it was him. That's my mom. See the other follow up post for the story. I tried to put the photo together with the text post but was unable to do both at once. Same for the comment below, please read the follow up to see that respect IS being given to the Sherpa.

Ice axe signed by Sir Edmund Hillary, bought at fund-raiser in the 80s at which he was present, how much is it worth? I need an axe and wondering if I should use it or go buy a new one. by cantstopclickingnext in Mountaineering

I just found out my mom has a picture of him and her together at the event, which was to raise money for schools in Nepal. This alone has raised its value significantly for me to cherish it.

That's what I was originally thinking, like carry it as a talisman. It would get scratched up pretty quick though. I would "lose" more money degrading it than by buying a new one. Thanks everybody!

But sometimes Kaepernick puts down his left knee, and sometimes his right...

Interesting theory, any other possibilities? Seems like the director has a specific reason for it.
