I'm ashamed to admit, I thought he was already dead. :}

Noooooooooooo! Goddammit, that makes me sad. And I just picked up another of his books, too.

I've always been fascinated by him and by climbers of the 8000 meter peaks.

His son Peter and Tenzing Norgay's son Jamling also summited.

Among the things that Hillary is revered for is the work he did in Nepal, building schools and hospitals for the Sherpas.
