EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous reunion of the legendary climbers who conquered Mount Everest in 1953. From left to right, we see Sitar Gombu, Lord Hunt, Daku Tensing, Sherpa Tensing Norgay (also known as Sherpa Tenzing Norgay), and Sherpa Gombu - an extraordinary man who has triumphed over Everest's summit not once but twice. The photograph was taken at The Pen-y-Grwd Training base in Capel Curig, North Wales on May 26th, 1973 - exactly two decades after their historic ascent. This gathering holds immense significance as it symbolizes the enduring bond forged during their arduous climb and celebrates their remarkable achievement. Unfortunately, Sir Edmund Hillary couldn't attend this reunion due to unforeseen circumstances. The location itself adds another layer of intrigue to this snapshot of mountaineering history. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Wales' Capel Curig region, these brave souls reminisce about their awe-inspiring feat while surrounded by nature's grandeur. Bob Rendle skillfully captured this poignant moment that encapsulates both the indomitable spirit of human exploration and the camaraderie shared among those who have dared to conquer Earth's highest peaks. This timeless image serves as a testament to the bravery and determination exhibited by these trailblazers in defying limits and reaching for new heights.
