Edmund Hillary here,
I am drinking my tea at Camp IX. Next stop the summit! I am telling myself to not be so excited because so many people have tried this before but none have succeeded so why even dream about it, but I am an explorer so quitting is NOT an option. Tomorrow I will be trekking up the mountain. I am a little bit scared but why am I? Tenzing, my helpful Sherpa will be right behind me and he is amazing! I would trust him with my life.
