R.I.P Sir Edmund...Not only did you conquer Everest but you put the hearts of all people that love you on top of that mountain...God will have you now but we will always have Everest and all the great things you did for others in your memory...Thank you for all that you are to us..a great,loving,giving man.much love and respect...Heaven is lucky to receive you..
As a young man Ed crossed Cook Straight on the ferry the cycled 100 miles to Kaikoura, climbed Mt Tapuaeuenuku, then biked home again....thats what legends are made of...true grit, an inspiration to all Kiwi's......a mighty Totara has fallen...
This $5 is 4 u sir ed u truly r a legend & be sorely missed doing wat no man could do b4 & reaching the highest point in the world & putting New Zealand on top of the world 4 that we salute u
I rate you beneath a dog for that comment. What the fuck have you done in your worthless life that could even come close to Edmund Hillary's amazing achievements?
ok well if so first im not a retard! 2nd it was a joke & it was only for fun although i did mean the part hes "one of us" not theirs now you! shut up :-)
no funny things going on, damn shit " Glossyicelris" !!, all world is mouring due to passing of great Humanitarian, and you bloody shit it taking it as joke. Shame on you.
I think its not necessary, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa from my country( NEPAL) did not receive much fame( from world or from my country too, although HE equally should have received FAME from the WORLD community), we have no pictures of Sherpa in our money, nor was he awarded with big awards. Sir Ed ( considering only conquerer of Sagarmatha( Mt. Everest)) is not necessarily be given holiday for his b'day/funeral.If given I have no comment.
I think it's a great idea. Not just becuase he conquered Everest first, but out of respect for HIS respect for mankind. You should be given the day off, and there should be organized events to get fresh air and exercise away from work, and people, in whatever small way, should recongize his humanitarian work by performing whatever act of friendliness they can. Take a short walk through your neighborhood. (continued)
If you see an elderly lady that's carrying in groceries, help her out. A newlywed couple carrying in a new washing machine, help them out. See garbage in the streets, pick it up and throw it away. I realize, of course, that's not the same as what Sir Ed did, but it's a way you can show respect by doing things you CAN do. (conitnued)
It would be a very cool holiday, and although I would like to visit New Zealand anyway (for many reasons, especially to climb), I think it would draw more tourists, money, and people like me that would simply like to show their respect. I WOULD COME! Peace.
This man is the reason I started climbing. He lives on in the climbing community as not only an inspiration to climb, but an inspiration to be a humanitarian, and to step up to the plate and be a MAN. He is almost god-like to us, and we will miss him sorely. R.I.P. Sir Edmund. :( New Zealand should be VERY proud, and I hope with all hope that you folks give him the proper respect and kudos he deserves concerning all that will encompass his funeral. Peace.
It will be a state funeral, right? Please give this man that much. Being a climber, I may be biased, but as far as I'm concerned, there should be a some kind of holiday, or national day of recognition in his name. He was so much more than a mountaineeer. People from New Zealand may not know it, but we here in the U.S.A (especially climbers) hold a great deal of respect for Sir Ed. Maybe more so than almost anyone else from your country. That may sound silly, but there it is.
Don't think that all Americans are so stupid that they hold false idols like Paris Hilton, or Brat-ney Spears in high esteem. Sir Ed has more charisma and worth to mankind in his toenail clippings than those fools can EVER have. Some of us know that.
This day is a bummer, but out of respect for Sir Ed, I just may go climb something, and help out a stranger as well. And when I stand on the summit, never feeling more alive, with my senses so well honed I can smell a pine needle from a mile away, Sir Ed will be there with me. *cries and runs away embarrassed*
Yes Sir Ed's family have agreed to a state funeral and please ignore the anti-American vitriol. Ed we know was revered around the world and we are proud to share him with you
Thanks for the kind words, torqueingheads. I hope his funeral will be televised in my country, but I fear it will not. So far, I have yet to see anything but 30 second blurbs concerning his death on the news in my country, and it upsets me, and embarrasses me. Thanks again. Peace.
In a time when the youngsters of NZ look overseas to America for idols such as Britney Spears or some rapper, I find it truly sad the last humble kiwi legend has died. If only there were more like him!
What sucks is ...
I go to Macleans College and Hilary would go to my school every single year and i was year 8 when he died.
