And to the whole world, really. Hillary was a truly amazing man for his time. Though the route to the summit of Everest meant that it was single-file to the top, unto his dying day Hillary would never say who got there first, him or Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. When people would say "how does it feel to be the first man to summit Everest," he'd say that Norgay and he were the first men to summit. Norgay was also mum on the topic. In his time (and society), though, the Sherpas were rarely recognized as human, much less equals. Truly a great man.
