    Default Sir Edmund Hillary dies...

    Sir Edmund's health had reportedly been in decline since April, when he suffered a fall while visiting Nepal.

    He was the first man to climb the 8,850m (29,035ft) peak with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay on 29 May 1953.
    Wow, to think that back in his times, nobody knew what was at the top of that thing...

    I first heard of him years ago. I just read his obituary. Very interesting!
