I think my first thought on reaching the summit- of course, I was very, very pleased to be there, naturally - but my first thought was one of a little bit of surprise. I was a little bit surprised that here I was, Ed Hillary, on top of Mt. Everest. After all, this is the ambition of most mountaineers.

Great

Nov 07, 2020

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there's no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

Man
|

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always hated the danger part of climbing, and it's great to come down again because it's safe.

Comradeship
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is something about building up a comradeship - that I still believe is the greatest of all feats - and sharing in the dangers with your company of peers. It's the intense effort, the giving of everything you've got. It's really a very pleasant sensation.

Doubt
|
Nov 07, 2020

I believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there's no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.

Myself

I have never regarded myself as a hero, but Tenzing undoubtedly was.

Nov 07, 2020

Take advantage of the years of pioneering efforts. You might find this boring, as the young want to rush head on, as it were.

Humor
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good planning is important. I've also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you're in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you're depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension.

Ordinary
|
Nov 07, 2020

Adventuring can be for the ordinary person with ordinary qualities, such as I regard myself.

Think
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.

Cracking
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't regard myself as a cracking good climber. I'm just strong in the back. I have a lot of enthusiasm, and I'm good on ice.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was extremely lucky that I had two great wives. It sounds a bit funny to say that, but it's absolutely true.

Feeling
|
Nov 07, 2020

I realised a little bit to my astonishment that I can give a lecture for a thousand people, and there will be this tumultuous applause, so, you know, I have the feeling well, it can't be all that bad.

Finance
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can remember when I first went into the Himalayan area way back in 1951. Money, for instance, was not important at all to the local people. But now, finance has become just as important to them as it is to us, and this is a change maybe not for the better.

Tourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they're not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.
