Edmund Hillary has passed away

Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first two men to set foot on top of Mt. Everest (with Tenzing Norgay), has passed away. He was 88. What an incredible, envious life he led. May he forever rest in peace.

Amazing guy.

Mallory was a bit tormented though. A friend is doing a screenplay about his life before the attempt on Everest where he was lost.
