Gone - Man at the Top of the World

Today's news announced the passing of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first known person who climbed Mount Everest. Now when we have the Discovery Channel giving us reports of teams of relative amateurs who go up the mountain and read stories of problems they have with trash and junk from all the for fee expeditions taking people up the mountain, it's hard to believe that it was only slightly over 50 years ago when no one had ever climbed the peak.
