really good photo of what’s come to be known as the hillary step. edmund hillary, a kiwi, along with tenzing sherpa, were the first crew to successfully climb everest. the story goes that they reached a 40 ft vertical climb that was going to be very difficult at their altitude and level of exhaustion. hillary, an experienced climber, was able to find a wedge between the rock and wall of ice, easing the effort. they reached the summit at 11:30 am and spent 15 minutes at the top. 15 whole minutes, despite the fact that they’d been on the mountain since march and it was now may.
a photo of hillary on the summit of everest doesn’t exist, as he refused to have his photo taken.
i heard an interview with johnny once where he said that he was so moved by the bucket list that he cried and went on to write this song.
Today,
My therapist told me I need to remember I’m 21. I told her I’d try. So here’s a reminder:
Hey, Scott, you’re 21, not 35.
