Motivation Is The Single Most Important Factor

No One Remembers Who Climbed Mount Everest The Second Time.

I Have Discovered That Even The Mediocre Can Have Adventures And Even The Fearful Can Achieve.

It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

I Like To Think Of Everest As A Great Mountaineering Challenge, And When You've Got People Just Streaming Up The Mountain - Well, Many Of Them Are Just Climbing It To Get Their Name In The Paper, Really.

I Have To Admit I Do Get A Bit Depressed At Times And You Know I Think About The Good Old Days When I Was Charging Ahead.
