He Maunga Teitei - The Lofty Mountain
"Look towards the far horizons people of the world. Mourn for the mighty kauri has fallen. He has gone, but his legacy lives on. A lofty mountain who never bowed."
Translation of the beautiful 'haka' written and performed by Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate students at the funeral of Sir Edmund Hillary, held today in Auckland, New Zealand.

I saw the funeral on the news tonight. He was a man who achieved so much in life thanks to his recognition as a climber.
