I Think That A Good Mountaineer Is

In Those Days We Were Punished Very Frequently And I Felt That It Was Often Unjust, And So I Would Resist The Desire To Agree With Many, Many Things. So I Used To Get Beaten Quite Frequently And I More Or Less Accepted It As Part Of Life.

I Was Certainly Seriously Emotionally Affected [ When Louise Hillary And Belinda Hillary Died], But We Were Building The Hospital At The Time And I Decided That The Only Thing To Do Was To Carry On And Complete The Hospital - And It Was A Jolly Good Hospital Too, I Might Say. So I Really Did It By Working And Working On The Things That Louise And I Had Been Working On.

June [hillary] Had Been Doing All These Things - The Himalayas And All The Rest Of It - So We Had Done Things Together For A Long Time, And, Particularly As Far As Our Sherpas Were Concerned, We Had A Very Sound, I Think, Philosophy. So That Made It Very Easy For Us To Agree On What Should Be Done.

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.
