No One Remembers Who Climbed Mount Everest

We Shared A Philosophy Together [with June Hillary]. We Believed Very Strongly In The Welfare Of Helping Other People, Particularly The Third World People.

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.

It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

I Never Talk About Being Leaders And All The Rest Of It. I Can Only Remember One Or Two Occasions In My Life When I Actually Issued Orders, And I Felt Thoroughly Miserable After Doing It.

On The Summit Of Everest, I Had A Feeling Of Great Satisfaction To Be First There.
