This article gives light to several issues that we have talked about in this class thus far from Edmund Hillary’s perspective in 1999. The interview with Hillary gives his opinions on several modern mountaineering issued facing Everest, and Nepal. Continuing it talks about Norgay and Hillary friendship after the 1953 summit of Everest, and Hillary’s social and political endeavors after being knighted. Being appointed a New Zealand Diplomat to several Asian Countries he speaks about his philanthropic work of building schools multiple and hospitals in Nepal. This interview with Edmund Hillary after Mallory’s body had been discovered, and Norgay had just passed, while at the height of commercialization gives a good perspective of how people who participated in the Golden Age of mountaineering feel about the modern changes of mountaineering.
