New Zealand mourns a man who first became prominent for an amazing feat of teamwork and endurance and won lasting fame for great works for humanity.

    He was a great man – and in more ways than the challenges he overcame on the mountain and getting to the pole. He was a GOOD man.

    Thanks everyone. The funeral was amazing. Some great tributes from as far away as Nepal.
