The main characters of the movie had different motivations. The American one climbed to the top, no oxygen tank, "for the challenge". How stupid! He was a newly-wed, but aaaanyways. The lady did it because she loved to climb, that was her motivation I think, but it also made her feel good to be the first Spanish lady to summit the mountain. Norgay did it to fulfill a calling he had in his heart; he wanted to do what his father had. (His dad was the one that lead the first successful expedition to the top but he never got credit for it until way later). Near the end, Norgay prays on his little flags and he was at peace with having accomplished his life dream. He also gets the monastery to light all of the candles to thank their God for letting him get to the top safely. The others just hugged everyone at "base camp" and jumped around. I also noticed that Norgay left pictures of his family at the top, like, making it up there was really really important to him, you could tell because he got emotional when he talked about it.
