The Adventure World of Sir Edmund Hillary - The Kaipo Wall (Part One)
Television (Full Length) – 1974
Mike Gill told me about a sheer 4000 foot rock wall he discovered in the Darren Ranges. He called it the Kaipo Wall. Now that was quite a long time ago, but it still hasn’t been climbed. We thought it'd be a good idea to go down and climb it.– Edmund Hillary on why they’re going on the mission
It’s no good wishing you’d packed an extra rope or a warm singlet when you’re 4000 foot up a cliff face.– Edmund Hillary on being prepared
