Beyond the Peak Lies the Journey
In View From The Summit, Sir Edmund Hillary offers more than a record of his historic ascent of Everest—he presents the deeply human story of a life shaped by courage, humility, and purpose. With the same clarity and honesty that marked his pioneering spirit, Hillary reflects not only on the triumph of 1953 but on the path that led him there, and the life he built in its shadow.
From Ice Fields to Humanitarian Frontiers
Hillary recounts his early days in rural New Zealand, his love of the mountains, and the camaraderie of the expeditions that would define his legacy. But this memoir is also a testament to what came after: decades of tireless work in Nepal, building schools and hospitals for the Sherpa people he so deeply admired. His story is one of adventure, yes—but also of service, loss, and quiet determination.
The Legacy of a True Explorer
With warmth and wisdom, Hillary invites readers to look beyond the summit—to see a life lived with integrity, passion, and deep respect for others. View From The Summit is an inspiring memoir from a man who not only stood on the roof of the world, but never stopped climbing in spirit.
