He was indeed a giant. Both as a mountaineer and as a human being. He was
very much
respected here in the states by anyone who even thought of climbing. I never
met him,
but I did meet Tenzing Norgay briefly in the early 70's. They were a great
team.
I will certainly be toasting his memory with a glass or two of New Zealand
wine in
the days ahead. Godspeed, Edmund.
