It's Not A Real Adventure When You

No One Remembers Who Climbed Mount Everest The Second Time.

In Those Days We Were Punished Very Frequently And I Felt That It Was Often Unjust, And So I Would Resist The Desire To Agree With Many, Many Things. So I Used To Get Beaten Quite Frequently And I More Or Less Accepted It As Part Of Life.

When I Was 50 Years Old, I Actually Decided To Draw Up A List Of Half A Dozen Things That I Really Hadn't Done Very Well, And I Was Going To Make Efforts To Improve. One Of Them Was Skiing, And I Really Did Become A Very Much Better Skier.

It's All Bullshit On Everest These Days.

Nothing Can Replace Courage, A Resounding Motivation And That Little Bit Of Luck.
