"Sir Edmund's health had reportedly been in decline since April, when he suffered a fall while visiting Nepal."

RIP Ed.
I can still remember my dad reading out the details of the first ascent from the newspaper to me when I was 7. All our class at school (Friarswood CP School - long gone) were taken to watch the Everest Film at the local cinema (Gaumont, I think) in Newcastle.

I think it's fair to say that climbing Everest was the peak of his career.

Always a quirky ironic thing that his name was HILLary.
RIP Eddy baby.
