Hillary Peak (Шаблон:Lang-ne) is the name which has been proposed by the Government of Nepal for a Шаблон:Convert peak in the Himalayas in honour of Edmund Hillary, who made the first ascent of Everest with Tenzing Norgay in 1953.[1]
In September 2013 a government panel recommended that two mountains be renamed Hillary Peak and Tenzing Peak as part of a batch of summits that would be opened to climbers in 2014. The coordinates given by the government indicate that it is one of a clutch of peaks on the Nepal and Tibet border between Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang, known variously as Ngojumba Kang, Ngozumpa Kang and Ngojumba Ri.[2]
In the fall of 2016, two time Everest summiter Elia Saikaly along with Pasang Kaji Sherpa made an expedition to Hillary Peak.[3] They called off their summit bid due to dangers encountered including rock-falls, bad weather, hidden crevasses, and snow related issues.[4]
