Challenge Is What Makes Men. It Will

Human Life Is Far More Important Than Just Getting To The Top Of A Mountain.

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.

No One Remembers Who Climbed Mount Everest The Second Time.

You Don't Have To Be A Hero To Accomplish Great Things---to Compete. You Can Just Be An Ordinary Chap, Sufficiently Motivated To Reach Challenging Goals.

Good Planning Is Important. I've Also Regarded A Sense Of Humor As One Of The Most Important Things On A Big Expedition. When You're In A Difficult Or Dangerous Situation, Or When You're Depressed About The Chances Of Success, Someone Who Can Make You Laugh Eases The Tension.
