"Sir Edmund Hillary, who made the climb before it was a "holiday" for the idle rich,"

Sir Edmond Hillary was the idle rich. He was on "holiday" as you say.

"Sir Edmund Hillary, ... disagrees with your climbing conclusions and expertise.

I doubt it.

"I'll have to choose his opinion."

Hillary wasn't there. If Hillary carried a dead body back, then you have a point about what he would do, otherwise not.
