Sir Edmund Hillary is really a great man. During his career path, Sir Edmund explored places where no other person had moved out before. He and his college Tenzing Norgay have captured the peak of Mount Everest to the world’s imagination. His successful achievement of scaling the Mount Everest for the first time during 1953 is one of the most defining moments during the 20th century.

Well written précis Allan. You;re a good writer. Sir Ed is definitely one of my heroes, not only because of his adventures but also the massive humanitarian effort he led. I also appreciate his moral stance ie His stand on the events of Everest in 96.

Cheers

Peter

G’day Tony,

Thanks for dropping by mate!

He definitely did have a great innings, and was truly one of the last of the old ‘Boys Own’ adventure types.

He was one of my heroes while I was growing up, but I didn’t realise that he had achieved so much until I started reading his history the other day!

As for achieving stuff, he did more in one life time than most would be able to fit into ten.

Actually, this is the second post I have written, not having room for the extra information in the first…

Cheers mate!

Allan
