The death of Sir Edmund Hillary
The man
This fine New Zealander and his life long friend Tenzing_Norgay, go into the history books as the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953.
Sir_Edmund_Hillary was respected more for what he achieved as a humanitarian.

Now money buys a high tech ascent and the mountain still claims lives.
The days of rope, canvas and blokes like Sir Ed are long gone.
