I'm Definitely A Queen Supporter. She Was

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.

I Still Think Have This Deep Desire For Our Himalayan Trust - That We Raise The Necessary Funds, That We Do All The Things That The Sherpas Want Us To Do, And I Would Like To See Us Working Together With Them On These Projects. Even Though I'm Old And Decrepit I Still Have This Strong Feeling That I Would Like To Carry These Things Out If It Were Still Possible.

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 Think That A Good Mountaineer Is Usually A Sensible Mountaineer.

Everest You Won't Change, But I Will Get Better...i Will Conquer You.
