Just over seventy years after Sir Edmund Hillary first ascended Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak is grappling with new ethical dilemmas.

From crowded summit attempts and ecological strain, to debates about climber preparedness and the treatment of Sherpas, Everest’s story today is as complex as ever.

The Himalayan Trust, founded by Sir Ed, continues to support local communities at the heart of these challenges.

His grandson, Alexander Hillary, now runs the organisation, and joins us on The Front Page to discuss what respecting Everest means, and whether we’ve lost it.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
