Sir Ed's Climbing Socks
Celebrating our heritage
This year we've been gifted the very socks Sir Edmund Hillary wore during his grand traverse of Aoraki Mt Cook in 1971, to have on display at our Fieldays stand.
Last year, we reached out to Alex Hillary to see if he'd be keen on some kit for his adventures. So while searching through the family archives and finding the original Climbing socks made by Norsewear, and worn by Ed in the 70s, he was kind enough to send us a photo.
We knew this would be a rather cool story to tell - about how far our gear has gone. We're incredibly grateful to the Hillary family for lending us these socks from the archives.
We're super excited to bring this side of Norsewear heritage to our Fieldays stand. To catch the RNZ article, click below.
A huge thanks to Sir Graeme Dingle and the Dingle Foundation for capturing and providing the brilliant image of Sir Ed and his kit.
