WTG on those who had Sir Ednund Hillary who climbed Mt. Everest and a likely candidate. Damn.... I missed that one.
BTW he is alays creditd with being the first guy to clim Mt. Everest, but he had sherpa guides all the way to the top. APparently thy stepped aside to let him tke the final steps to the summit. Does anyone really believe he was the first? I don't. Maybe the first white guy, but not the first guy.
Hillary was accompanied by Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay on his famous ascent. Norgay spoke several languages, but couldn't read or write. His grandson and Hillary's grandson climbed to the summit of Everest together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original climb. Norgay, I think, died about 15 years ago.
