'''Tenzing''' was a [[Wikipedia:Sherpa people|Sherpa]] who lived in the house just west of [[Burthorpe]], with his pet goat [[Billy (goat)|Billy]]. The player was required to procure Tenzing's help during the [[Death Plateau (quest)|Death Plateau]] [[quest]] by giving him ten [[bread|loaves of bread]], ten [[cooked trout]], and [[spiked boots]] to help with his climbing. If the player did this, Tenzing would show them to a secret pathway up to [[Death Plateau (location)|Death Plateau]] on the way to [[Trollheim]], to help the [[Burthorpe Imperial Guard]] to dislodge a nest of [[Mountain Troll]]s that had taken to living on the plateau. A player needed to go through his house and over a stile to take the secret path to the plateau and [[troll]] city. After the quest, Tenzing sold [[rock climbing boots]] for 75,000 [[coins]] each. He also played a 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.

Tenzing was replaced with [[Freda]] after the [[Update:Troll Warzone|Troll Warzone update]].

==Trivia==
*The character may have been based on [[Wikipedia:Tenzing Norgay|Tenzing Norgay]], a Sherpa and guide to [[Wikipedia:Sir Edmund Hillary|Sir Edmund Hillary]] when they both reached the peak of [[Wikipedia:Mount Everest|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 used the fact he sells cheap boots to make money. Climbing boots sold for significantly less on the [[Grand Exchange]] than he would sell them for as he sells them for 75k and the ge price is closer to 50k.
