No, not that Hillary. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb the tallest mountain in the world died this morning. I don't know as much as I could about Edmund Hillary, but by all accounts, he was a true hero. He was humble; not admitting that he was the first person to reach the summit until after his friend and guide Tenzing Norgay died. He was a philanthropist in his massive donations to Nepalese school children. And he was a conservationist...so yeah, sounds like a hero to me.

Nowadays, it seems like everyone's climbing Everest. But there was a time when no one had. That all changed with two people.
