Tenzing Rock, as is evident, is a natural rock named after the legendary sherpa Tenzing Norgay. It is also used by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute for training its students in rock climbing. The right flank of the rocks ideal for all climbers - amateurs and professionals alike, whereas the left face of rock is dangerously steep, nearly vertical, and can be scaled only by professionals. Right opposite the Tenzing Rock is another famous HMI climbing areas known as the Gumbo Rock, bearing the name of Tenzing Norgay’s nephew, sherpa Nawang Gombu who was the first one to summit Mt. Everest twice. Though it isn’t as steep and challenging as the left face of Tenzing Rock, Gombu Rock demands prior rock climbing knowledge.
