Sir Ed's 1953 ascent of Mt Everest brought him world-wide fame.
Actually, it was not so much the ascent that brought him notoriety, but his subsequent descent. There is too much evidence that George Mallory beat him to the top in 1924. Only he never made it back down. Hillary was the first to succesfully complete the summit of Everest. But he wasn't the first to see it.
