[From Lynnette]
The way we talk about Sir Edmund
Hillary in this country some times,
you’d be forgiven for thinking that
the famous Kiwi, and first man on
top of Everest (not counting the
mystery of Mallory, and of course,
those forgotten Sherpas) was in fact
a Brit. He wasn’t of course, and the
first Britons to achieve this
amazing feat were actually Dougal
Haston and Doug Scott, who reached
the summit over 20 years later, on
the 24th September 1975. Just to
make it that little bit more
impressive, they did so by scaling
the previously unclimbed, and
horrendously difficult south-west
face.
