It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

I Think The Whole Attitude Towards Climbing Mount Everest Has Become Rather Horrifying. The People Just Want To Get To The Top. They Don't Give A Damn For Anybody Else Who May Be In Distress And It Doesn't Impress Me At All That They Leave Someone Lying Under A Rock To Die.

No One Remembers Who Climbed Mount Everest The Second Time.

Many People Have Been Getting Too Casual About Climbing Everest. I Forecast A Disaster Many Times.

I Have No Desire To Live Anywhere Else But New Zealand. I've Had The Good Fortune To Travel Widely Around The World, But New Zealand Is Home - And I Like To Be Here. I'm Proud To Be A New Zealander.

I Get Older I Get More Cantankerous, But June [hillary] Gets A Bit More Cantankerous, Too.
