My Christian Faith Is My Backbone

To Get Ready To Climb Everest, I Did A Lot Of Hill Running With A Daypack On And A Lot Of Underwater Swimming. I Would Swim A Couple Of Lengths Underwater And Then A Couple Above. It Gets Your Body Going With Limited Oxygen.

A Friend Once Asked Me What Qualities Were Needed For Sas. I Would Say To Be Self-motivated And Resilient; To Be Calm, Yet Have The Ability To Smile When It Is Grim; To Be Unflappable, Be Able To React Fast And To Have An ‘improvise, Adapt And Overcome’ Mentality.

I Think It's Fun Running With Dogs. They're Always So Fit And Fast.

I've Fallen Down Crevasses, Been Bitten By Snakes, Been Knocked Unconscious, Had Various Limbs Broken And Once, A Heavy Camera Came Plunging Down Which Very Nearly Decapitated Me.

The Greatest Journeys All Start With A Single Step.
