Be Inspired by Hillary and Tenzing

60 years ago, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, reached the summit of Everest. Limited by their oxygen sources, their stay on the summit was a short one, lasting just fifteen minutes. Sherpa Tenzing made offerings of sweets and biscuits to the Buddhist gods as thanks for their safe passage.

Their monumental achievement has inspired generations of explorers to climb peaks, and go on mountain adventures, not only in the Himalayas but worldwide.

Now it's your turn....
