May the wind be at your back on your next journey.

A great friend to Nepal a true Kiwi hero

You climbed every mountain and overcome every obstacle you faced in your lifetime. Congratulations x

l would have no message of condolence, just congratulations.
Congratulations for getting up Everest first;
congratulations for your commitment to the people and land of Nepal;
congratulations on the maintenance of your impressive humility;
congratulations on doing the best with the life you were dealt.
May we all merit such congratulation one day.

So sad, we have lost a true Kiwi Icon, RIP Sir Ed.

Dear Sir Ed,

l suppose you wo not be needing supplemental oxygen anymore? God Speed!

He was a GREAT man.a good climber and adventurer and an awesome humanitarian, giving back to the Sherpa people.

l was a concerned when yesterday nobody bothered to mention his passing & l visited this site specifically to do exactly that. Thanks for doing it for us
SIr Edmund Hillary was physically a very large man who climbed a very large mountain & only after he descended from that very large mountain did we discover exactly how a big a man Sir Edmund Hillary really was
l have no doubt that today there r prayer flags flying over Tengboche Monastery in his honor
He will be missed

''If u just look at all that already exists in ur life, all that u already have: unlimited air to breathe, ample lighting to see, music to hear, books to read, stars to dream by, trees to gaze at, floors to dance on, friends to cavort with, enemies to befriend, strangers to meet, woods to walk through, beaches to comb, ROCKS TO SCALE, rains to cleanse you, rivers to float you, animals to comfort you, u do have to admit, there is more of it than u could ever, ever, ever spend.'' By Mike Dooley
My quote is: l never knew you, l heard of you, but never met you, yet l think u r the greatest man.EVER!!! You overcame mountains of great height & snowstorms of blistering icicles stabbing at ur determined face. l can say a lot, but the best way to describe my great admireness for u is have fun climbing the white fluffy clouds of heaven, because l know you've become an angel! Godspeed, & godbless you! :) Love, Meg

True blue kiwi. Say hi to Ernest Rutherford for me.

Edmund Hillary was a good climber, but l want to recongize the really hero Tenzing Norgay because without him Hillary would have not been able to make it. Also, technically Tenzing was the first and his people probably did it along time ago.
