Attn Kiwi Ladies-Sir Edmund..

This is so cool - so many people at the time neglected to mention Tensig and talked about the first man to conquer Everest (meaning Sir Ed). I didn't learn Tensig's name til AFTER I had left school.

To this date Sir Ed insisted the two climbed the mountain together. he wasn't the first man to conquer Everest, they were the first men. A great man, he will be missed.

Climb, RoadRaven, climb!

I read that too. Not often you find such a combination of a certain greatness (in his later work as well as climbing) with persistent humility. It's a great loss to the world.
