Honouring a legend

60 years this year since Mt Everest was first summited and the sad news today of the passing away of the last of the team members.

George Lowe (1924-2013), died aged 89. He was part of the team who summited Mt Everest in 1953, along with Sir Edmund Hilary, George Band, Alfred Gregory, Charles Wylie, Mike Westmacott and their Sherpas.

It seems an appropriate and respectful opportunity to remember these legends and celebrate this amazing achievement.

I attach some photos of their expedition on Mt Everest.
