I like your facts about Sir Edmund Hillary Toby. What's the highest place you've climbed? And if you were an intrepid explorer where would you most want to go?
We've got some pretty high mountains in the UK but nothing like Everest! The highest ones I've ever been up are in Scotland and they're called the Five Sisters of Kintail https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/kintail/Fivesisters.shtml
Hey Toby!
These are some great facts about Sir Edmund Hillary! He has definitely accomplished some great feats in his life! The highest mountain I have climbed is Mt Tauhara in Taupo, which is 3,569 feet tall. Not quite the same accomplishment...! What is the highest mountain you have climbed?

Hi Nicky and Ruth
I do like climbing. Sometimes I go with my family to climb up the old volcanoes in Auckland. I like Mount Eden and One Tree Hill. They are not very high but my dad likes to go up the steep way!
