Hillary reached the South Pole in 1958 by tractor as a member of the British Commonwealth Trans-Atlantic Expedition led by Sir Vivian Fuchs. He led the first jet boat expedition along the Ganges River in India in 1977. He was New Zealand High Commissioner to Nepal, India & Bangladesh. He founded the Himalaya Trust in 1960 and built schools, hospitals and airfields. He was made an honourary citizen of Nepal in 2003. He did much more than looking for the Yeti and despite all the honours bestowed upon him, he remained humble. He is a New Zealand hero.

You should look into the interview of the Actor Brian Blessed, what a life, what a character!

He drove three Massey Ferguson tractors to the South Pole to drop of supplies for the British expedition. He was not supposed to actually reach the pole , just leave supplies along the route , but he decided to go for the pole.

The climbing and study of "Everest" has led to thousands of medical breakthroughs, especially in the effects of altitude and/or low oxygen on the human body.

He was asked by a journalist if he found it and he famously replied: "Not Yeti."

I remember meeting him at Mt Cook(NZ) when I was 14 in 1984 and he seemed like a giant to me (He was 6'5) I got a signature and a photograph of him dwarfing me

The picture of Hillary with the yeti drawing surfaced on a later episode.. Phill Jupitus- "He`s saying `Now, this is the creature we are seeking`, And all the sherpas say `Oh, you mean Keith...."

There's a housing estate near my old school that was being built in the early '50s, so it includes Tensing Road and Hillary Crescent. The local pub was called _The Everest_ when it opened (and where I drank my first legal pint on my 18th birthday), but it has since been acquired by the Wetherspoons group and renamed _The Frank Hornby_ after another local resident.

There's a Hillary Crescent not too far from where I live, too - but not the same one, because we don't have Wetherspoons in New Zealand :)

Sir Ed dedicated his life to bettering the life of the people of Nepal. He built school, hospitals, airfields etc. Sadly his first wife and one daughter died in an air crash in the Himalayas in 1975. He is definitely one of our NZ heroes. I like what he said about climbing Everest..."we knocked the bastard off". By the way, we don't say 'fush and chups' or 'sex' for the number 6. Rob Brydon was doing a not very good Aussie accent. There aren't many people who can imitate our accent, no even Michael McIntyre.

Without context you'd still guess it was said by a Kiwi/Aussie 😊

I see climbing Everest being a thing you do to test yourself, but the real test is of your judgement. I admire those who turn back down being really close when they realise it would be too dangerous, perhaps thinking "Next time..." One of the things I respect Brian Blessed (you have seen him here) for is when he climbed Everest (and knowing he wouldn't be able to go again because he was getting too old) they all turned around as one person showed signs of swelling of the brain. That guy would have gotten down without them all, but he thought the safest way was everyone going back down. What's climbing a mountain compared to caring for someone else?

They didn't have to search everywhere to find the Yeti just where the Nepalese people claimed they lived.

Picked up my 3rd QI book the other day, nice thrift store find! :) Little tid-bits of facts and un-facts 1-handed google searching -> a risky business! Talk about 'six' and all that, pff! ;) A Yeti hunt, I think some rich kids in their gap year still do this don't they! Spending most of the trip in the 'Namche Bazar Solukhumbu' Irish Pub in Nepal (highest bar in the world, don't you know!) of course lol Brilliant as always, thank you guys!

it's especialyl impressive, given the gear they had in the 50's. Modern climbers would die from heart attack seeing, how they did it.

From the 1920s to his death in 1955, Albert Einstein obsessed over discovering a “unified field theory” (to merge the theories of electromagnetism and gravity into one cohesive framework). He was unsuccessful. After her return from her pioneering work as a nurse in Crimea, Florence Nightingale spent the rest of her life (54 years) a hypochondriac, obsessed over her own health. What happens after… sometimes deflating.

It is well known that Yetis went extinct, when their food source dried up, after climbing Everest was banned.

Rob Brydon is the presenter on WILTY, with team captains being Lee Mack and David Mitchell. Rob Brydon is the short one with a very long face, who does a good impression of the late Ronnie Corbett, and a reasonable impression of the late Sir Terry Wogan! Corbett and Wogan are both dead now, so are not around to complain when Brydon does his endless impressions of them. 😢

I think the search for Bigfoot is more valid than climbing a big mountain

I'm always a little saddened when people say "Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing". His name was Tenzing Norgay. Calling him "Sherpa Tenzing" is like calling Hillary "Mister Ed". (The first horse to climb Everest, probably...)

A very sad fact he lost his wife and youngest daughter in a plane crash in the Himalayas in 1975 while they were travelling to a hospital that Hillary was building!

Once upon a time gorillas were nothing but a rumour of hairy men living in the deepest rain forests of Africa. The way we know they exist is because someone went looking for them. I think you’re being unfair to him.

Technically Hillary wasn't the first to climb up Mnt Everest. He was the first to climb back down. There was someone called Mallory who reached the top but died before making it back down.

There is no conclusive proof one way or the other whether or not he reached the summit.

@Erulin68 24 күн бұрын

You can never prove something doesn't exist. Claiming there are no pink elephants would mean you'd have to check every single elephant on earth. And even then while you're making the statement they don't exist, one could be hiding right behind you in the bushes. 😁
