Description
Dougal Haston climbing the Hillary Step Art print, signed by Edmund Hillary, Pertemba Sherpa, Doug Scott and Chris Bonington. Photograph by Doug Scott Footnotes: The Hillary Step, just below the summit of Mount Everest, is the highest named place on earth. It is named after Ed Hillary the New Zealand mountaineer who made the first ascent of Everest in May 1953 with climbing partner Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Doug Scott's photo of Dougal Haston climbing the Hillary Step, taken on 24th September 1975, is perhaps the most famous climbing photo ever taken on Everest. It's all the more remarkable because Doug had to load a new role of film into his camera to take it, all whilst sat straddling the summit ridge of Everest with one leg in Nepal and one in Tibet! The Hillary Step is an 80 feet high step, with seventy degrees in steepness, which leads to the summit of Everest. When Doug Scott and Dougal Haston climbed it in September 1975 it was covered in monsoon snow that Doug described as having the 'consistency of sugar'. The art print is no. 86 of 850 and is signed by Ed Hillary, Doug Scott, Chris Bonington and Pertemba Sherpa – who have all summitted Everest. It is signed in pencil, the correct way to avoid UV light fading of the signatures.
