The Conquest of Mt. Everest

1 Comment Posted by on May 7, 2011

Some choice quotes from the returning heroes:

“  Well, George, we knocked the bastard off. ” - Edmund Hillary to friend, George Lowe, after coming down from the mountain.

“ It has been a long road … From a mountain coolie, a bearer of loads, to a wearer of a coat with rows of medals who is carried about in planes and worries about income tax.” - Tenzing Norgay in Man of Everest, 1955.
