Hillary Step
The step was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who partnered with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, on 29 May 1953 climbing the crack between the snow and the rock, earning the feature its name. Upon completion of the summit, the pair reported the snowpack on Hillary is harder than that of lower elevation.
