Mountains Are Not Stadiums Where I Satisfy

Mountains Have The Power To Call Us Into Their Realms And There, Left Forever, Are Our Friends Whose Great Souls Were Longing For The Heights. Do Not Forget The Mountaineers Who Have Not Returned From The Summits.

A Review Of Summit Day Photographs Will Show That I Was Clothed In The Latest, Highest Quality, High Altitude Gear, Comparable, If Not Better, Than That Worn By The Other Members Of Our Expedition.

I Travel To Jakarta, I See What An Important Country It Is. I've Been Working With Them For A Year.

This Year My Role Is Clear: I Am A Coach, A Coach To Sportsmen.

Big Mountains Are A Completely Different World: Snow, Ice, Rocks, Sky, And Thin Air. You Cannot Conquer Them, Only Rise To Their Height For A Short Time; And For That They Demand A Great Deal. The Struggle Is Not With The Enemy, Or A Competitor Like In Sports, But With Yourself, With The Feelings Of Weakness And Inadequacy. That Struggle Appeals To Me. It Is Why I Became A Mountaineer.
