“Perhaps it was for the best that it was the native Tenzing Norgay and the down-to-earth New Zealander Ed Hillary who finally 'knocked the bastard off'. They both used the achievement to better effect than a dream-filled Englishman might have.”
Ed Douglas, Chomolungma Sings the Blues
“In truth, there seems to be an Everest-sized mountain of hypocrisy over the issue of garbage. Trekkers and mountaineers want the advantages of a western lifestyle in an environment that can't deal with its detritus and then they feel guilty about the consequences.”
Ed Douglas, Chomolungma Sings the Blues
