It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

When You Go To The Mountains, You See Them And You Admire Them. In A Sense, They Give You A Challenge, And You Try To Express That Challenge By Climbing Them.

I've Often Thought About That And The Only Suitable Member To Join Me On That Climb [to Everest] Was George Lowe: He Was Strong, A Good Man On A Mountain, With A Great Sense Of Humour, And I Liked That. I Think George And I Could've Done That Together ... I've Probably Never Told George That.

Waihi Beach. It's A Lovely Beach, And We're Right On The Shore And I Get A Lot Of Pleasure Out Of Waking Up In The Morning And Hearing The Waves Roll In.

It Is Not The Mountain We Conquer, But Ourselves.

The Explorers Of The Past Were Great Men And We Should Honour Them. But Let Us Not Forget That Their Spirit Lives On. It Is Still Not Hard To Find A Man Who Will Adventure For The Sake Of A Dream Or One Who Will Search, For The Pleasure Of Searching, Not For What He May Find.
