Sir Edmund Hillary, Accomplished Climber and First Human Atop Everest, Rest in Peace.

Completely off-topic for this blog, but a sad day in the hearts of mountain climbers everywhere. Today Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man atop Mt. Everest passed away. Calling himself, "an ordinary man with ordinary abilities," Sir Hillary was a person to aspire to, spending the latter half of his life working for the betterment of the people of Nepal.

An experienced mountain climber myself, I feel a sad loss associated with his death. He was a good man, and a great climber.
