“What (Andrew) has done is outstanding and should not only be seen as an Australian first but more importantly puts him in the running for the international top ten for reaching the toughest grand slam on the planet - the 14 x 8000ers!” — Peter Hillary, renowned adventurer and son of Sir Edmund Hillary, first man to summit Mount Everest.
