Peter Hillary

Peter is a mountaineer, author, adventure travel operator and speaker. When he climbed Mount Everest in 1990, he and his father became the first father and son to conquer it together, 37 years after his father made the first ascent. This achievement was followed by a new adventure which traced a new route across Antarctica to the South Pole in a repeat of the father-son double. Peter has been involved in TV documentaries, is the author of four mountaineering books, designs outdoor equipment and helps his father with the operation of 42 schools and hospitals in the Mount Everest region of Nepal.
