What did Hillary mean by saying “We had had enough to do the job, but by no means too much”?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

It was a providential will that Hillary found two oxygen bottles on the way up towards Everest. As they returned successfully after the conquer of Everest, just near their tent, their bottle ran out of oxygen. So, he says they had had enough oxygen to conquer Everest but by no means it was too much.
