King of the Mountain, R.I.P.

Thus a sad moment in history... Sir Edmund P. Hillary, who was the first to scale Mount Everest, has died. He was 88.
Let us remember him for being atop of the world on the world's tallest peak and living to a ripe old age to tell the tale of being there 1st. *Besides probably the Nepalese of course.*
