apparently he dabbed on the last move.

Everest asside, looks like he did a load of fly shit for the local Neopolitans. Props.

Aye, hat duly removed.
The shame of it is that he is remembered by mist for one thing, even though he did one or other two impressive things.

remembered by mist

I haven't the foggiest what you're on about...   ;)

As for Hillary; one of the most famous people in the world thanks to an incredible achievement that was truly world news.  More importantly, he wanted to be remembered more for his work to help the population of Nepal.  That says something.

Something must have clouded my judgement. 
Sorry.

Doesn't matter if he was first or not still uber-wad achievement.

RIP.

RE who stepped on the summit first; there's no "I" in "Team Hilary-Tenzing".
