People are inspired by great adventure. And the name Hillary is synonymous with adventure. Peter Hillary is a powerful and dynamic speaker who takes his audience “with him” on one of his many extraordinary experiences: to the summit of Mt Everest; traversing Antarctica to the South Pole; feeding a pod of sharks; or making a terrifying descent of K2 down a vast vertical rock face in a vicious storm. He connects such dramatic achievements to the challenges faced by individuals and teams who are striving for excellence, coping with change, or overcoming obstacles in their own fields.
On 25 May 2002, just four days and forty-nine years after his father made the first ascent of Mt Everest, Peter Hillary stood on the summit of Mt Everest for the second time. As part of the 50th Anniversary of the first ascent of Mt Everest, Peter Hillary lead a National Geographic sponsored expedition. Filmed by National Geographic for distribution in 2003 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first ascent.
Like his father, Sir Edmund Hillary, Peter has climbed Mt Everest (twice) and has reached the South Pole overland; widely recognised as two of the most significant accomplishments in the world of adventuring and exploration. Peter also assists with raising funds for the Himalayan Trust, established by his father, which runs 42 schools and hospitals for the villages at the foot of Mt Everest. He has a wealth of stories to tell from a lifetime of high adventure including over 30 alpine expeditions on mountains throughout the world. They are stories of challenge and achievement that are inspirational and entertaining. Peter has spoken to over 500 high-profile organisations in a variety of settings from select executive groups of 12, to a vast audience of 12,000 at the Melbourne Tennis Centre.
