2. • Sixty years ago today New Zealand mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary and
Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made the first confirmed ascent of the
world's tallest peak which reaches 29,029 feet. Since then thousands of
people have made the attempt, with many perishing. Just last week 80-year-
old Japanese mountaineer Yuichiro Miura became the oldest person to reach
the summit for the third time, although he said that he nearly died on the
descent and that this would be his last time. The 1953 expedition that took
Hillary and Norgay to the top ended with a stay of just 15 minutes, with
Norgay leaving chocolates in the snow and Hillary leaving a cross that was
given to him by Army Colonel John Hunt, the leader of the British expedition.
