We all know the story of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay becoming the first men to summit Everest, but this video is still just too great not to share. It is an hour plus long documentary that was put together not long after that historic climb and it is as much fun to watch for the nostalgia as it is for learning about the actual climb. This is definitely a throwback to a different era and well worth watching in its entirety. Great stuff!
