When You Go To The Mountains, You

I Started To Become More Active And When I Was At Auckland Grammar I Went For The First Time To The Mountains. I Went To Ruapehu And For The First Time I Saw Snow. I Had Never Seen Snow Before And For 10 Days The Group Of Us Had A Marvellous Time.

Ever Since The Morning Of May 29, 1953, When Tenzing Norgay And I Became The First Climbers To Step Onto The Summit Of Mount Everest, I've Been Called A Great Adventurer.

If I'm Selecting A Group, The First Thing I Look For Is A Record Of Achievement . . . If (candidates Achieve) In Small Things, There's A Very Good Chance They'll Perform Well In Big Things.

I Was Incredibly Stubborn. I Mean, I Believe That My Father Was Frequently In The Right, But I Would Never Admit It, And So We Did Have A Few Set-tos On Various Topics; But On The Whole As I Got Older And My Father Got More Mature We Got Along Reasonably Well.

I Was Definitely Seriously Affected [with Wifw And Daughter Deaths], No Question, But I Learnt To Devote Myself To The Things That We'd Been Doing For Years And Years And Slowly The Pain Drifted Away.
