Life's A Bit Like Mountaineering - Never

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 Think It All Comes Down To Motivation. If You Really Want To Do Something, You Will Work Hard For It.

I Always, I Would Say, Make Sure That In My Presentation I'll Have What I Want To Do. I Try And Make It So Interesting To My Companions That They Want To Go, Too. I Don't Have To Twist Any Arms Or Make - You Know - Any Great Challenges Available.

I've Always Hated The Danger Part Of Climbing, And It's Great To Come Down Again Because It's Safe.

When I Was 50 Years Old, I Actually Decided To Draw Up A List Of Half A Dozen Things That I Really Hadn't Done Very Well, And I Was Going To Make Efforts To Improve. One Of Them Was Skiing, And I Really Did Become A Very Much Better Skier.
