[at-l] Fiftieth Anniversary of Hillary On Everest

[s.landis at comcast.net (Steve Landis)]

And let's not forget Tenzing Norgay who actually carried the gear.  His 
grandson has an op-ed piece in the NYT today.

Still, I have been lucky. I have managed to hold on to both worlds. I 
have reached the summit of Everest twice but have never had to carry 
75-pound porter loads as my grandfather and so many other Sherpas did. 
In fact, in 1993, I was the first Sherpa to lead an international 
climbing team (an expedition in which Western climbers carried their own 
loads).
