Edmund Hillary: The Conqueror of Everest

Edmund Hillary was the stereotypical country bumpkin. Hailing from rural New Zealand, this shy, gangly beekeeper stepped out of the shadows to take on the greatest physical challenge of them all - climbing the world’s highest mountain. Through guts, grit and determination he managed to, as he famously said, ‘knock the bastard off.’ From there he used his new found fame as a platform to improve the lives of the Nepalese people who he had developed an affinity for, leaving behind a legacy that endures beyond the record books. This week’s Biographics explores the life and accomplishments of the first man to climb Mount Everest, sir Edmund Hillary.
