I Travel To Jakarta, I

I Cannot Say To Be Glad Or Not Glad To Be On Everest. It Is My Life. I Have Opportunity To Be Here, So I Am Here.

I Offer My Expertise And Experience For Hire In Order To Help A Group Of People Reach The Summit.

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.

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.
