Born 20th July 1919 - Died 11th January 2008

The news is starting to spread about the death of the great mountaineer, adventurer, and philanthropist Sir Edmund Hillary, who with the Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest on the 29th of May 1953.

Along with Tenzing Norgay, Sir Edmund Hillary will without a doubt continue to be an inspiration to all who venture into the mountains, no matter how big or how small or where they are.
