Also
Probably most people don't know that before he was knighted, Sir Edmund Hillary was an apiarist. He was a beekeeper.
Very few have considered that Hillary wasn't in fact the first to summit Everest. That would have been his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay.
The guide doesn't follow behind the climber.

You are absolutely correct. He was climbing the Tibetan side. His body was recovered in 1999, I think.
