Intrepid is a just a more sophisticated word to describe someone who is courageous in an adventurous sense. It stems from the Latin "intrepidus," which is formed from "in" (not) plus "trepidus" (alarmed, afraid), by way of the French intrépide.
Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, could certainly be described as an intrepid mountain climber. Actually, anyone who attempts to climb Mount Everest should be considered intrepid. All of history's great explorers were intrepid, whether it was Columbus reaching the New World or NASA astronauts like Neil Armstrong who landed on the moon with a Lunar module called the Intrepid.
It should come as no surprise that the word intrepid, because of its relation to being fearless, is often used to name ships and vehicles, especially by the military. The British has had several ships going all the way back to the 18th century named HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Intrepid. Not to be outdone, several American combat ships have carried the name USS (United State's Ship) Intrepid.
