Peter Hilllary's Bio: Everest and Hillary: the mountain and the family are forever linked. On the 29th May, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the historic first ascent of the highest mountain on earth, Mt Everest. Peter Hillary was born 18 months later.

Peter grew up climbing mountains and participating in many of his father's expeditions and projects - traveling to the North Pole, up the Ganges River in India, climbing in the Himalayas, around the United States, and helping the mountai n people of Nepal.

Peter's first summit of Everest in 1990 meant the Hillary's became the "first family" of Himalayan mountaineering with two generations of Everest climbers. They are also the first two generations of one family to have each estab lished new routes across Antarctica to the South Pole. Peter reached the South Pole in 1999, and climbed Mt Everest for the second time in 2002 in celebration of his father's historic first ascent with Tenzing Norgay. The expedition is the subject of the comp elling National Geographic documentary Everest: 50 Years on the Mountain.

In 2008, Peter completed the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
