Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mt Everest. He is named Sir Edmund Hillary because he is special. You can’t climb Mt Everest without anything. You have to eat food, breathe and survive. Every breath is like burning fire. You must go with someone. At the top it is dangerous and cold. You have to be brave and sensible. Mt Everest is in Nepal. People live in the mountains but they do not live on Mt Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary put a flag on the top of Mt Everest to show that he was the first person to climb Mt Everest. You have to be a good climber to do that.
