JOHN HUNT
John Hunt sends an autograph note on a card.
Autograph Note Signed: "With warm regards to/Ashley Cole/John
Hunt/4th July 1954", 5¼x3¼ card. John Hunt (1910-1988) was an accomplished
mountaineer, having spent childhood holidays climbing in the Alps. When he
was chosen to lead the team to conquer Everest, he already had extensive
knowledge of the Himalayas due to several expeditions he took part in while
serving in India in the 1930s. He did not put himself on either of the two
summit teams, believing that his role as a coordinating leader would be more
crucial to the success of the team as a whole. He made it possible for Edmund
Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to reach the top. John Hunt was knighted by Queen
Elizabeth II in 1953 after leading the first successful Mount Everest
expedition. Pencil notes (unknown hand) on verso (no show through).
Fine condition.
