MountEverest.net has posted a report that Sir Edmund Hillary has been hospitalized in New Zealand after falling in a recent visit to Nepal.
The 87 year old climbing legend, the first man to summit Everest (along with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay) if you're tuning in for the first time, was meeting with the SuperSherpas and Miss Elizabeth Hawley while he was in Nepal last weekend. There have been a number of reports that this will be Hillary's last visit to the country, and although he has stopped climbing years ago, his humanitarian efforts, building schools and hospitals, have brought him back on a yearly basis.
Lets all send Sir Edmund our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery.
