I have the autobiography by Edmund Hillary about climbing all the peaks and ridges of NZ as practice for Everest. I should read it to get the dwarf vibe. ⛰️ Misty Mountain ensues …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEm0AjTbsac
He used places in NZ which replicated different parts of the Everest climb. Same angle, rocks, distance, fissures, etc etc So he was only practicing like 20 metres at a time, just a very specific 20 m. That’s so clever. ( I did read half the book … lol )
Tickets to NZ are booked. Campervan is in the process of being booked. I’m really excited now.

Legend has it he practiced on Mt Cook, which is NZ highest mountain.
