Tenzing

Tenzing is a Sherpa living in the house just west of Burthorpe. The player is required to procure Tenzing's help during the Death Plateau quest by giving him ten loaves of bread, ten cooked trout, and spiked boots to help with his climbing. If the player does this, then Tenzing will show them to a secret pathway up to Death Plateau on the way to Trollheim, to help the Burthorpe Imperial Guard to dislodge a nest of Mountain Trolls that have taken to living on the plateau. A player needs to go through his house, and over a stile, to take the secret path to the plateau and troll city. After the quest, Tenzing sells rock climbing boots for 75k coins each. He also playsa small role in the Troll Romance where he tells the player about the location of the Trollweiss mountain and the unique method of reaching it

Trivia

 * The character may have been based on Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa and guide to Sir Edmund Hillary when they both reached the peak of Mount Everest. This would explain why he helps players through the rocky paths by selling climbing boots, and the fact that he knows the different routes through the mountain.


 * Some players use the fact he sells cheap boots to make money. Climbing boots sell for significantly more on the Grand Exchange than he sells them for. The Warriors' Guild also has a bank near by. This is no longer possible due an update that changes the price to 75,000.
 * Tenzing's fence appears to be in the shape of a boot.
 * His mountain goat, "Billy", may be a reference to a Billy Goat.
