It's Not A Real Adventure When You

I Always Refused To Give In If There Was Some Argument With My Father. Whether It Was True Or Not, I Refused To Admit It And So Often I Would - Well, Tell Lies, Perhaps. I Would Either Do That Or Change The Story. Particularly If I Felt That My Father Was Being Unjust, Then I Was Very Strongly Motivated To Not Accept His Ruling.

I Was Definitely Seriously Affected [with Wifw And Daughter Deaths], No Question, But I Learnt To Devote Myself To The Things That We'd Been Doing For Years And Years And Slowly The Pain Drifted Away.

It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

I'm Past Carrying Out Some Of The Wishes That I Would Have Wanted To Do Before, But I Still Dream About What I Would Like To Do If I Was Able To Do So.

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.
