I spent a great evening in the pub with Joe Simpson. He is a true explorer . A climber who pushed himself to extremes and has lost many ‘risk taking ‘ friends. A very humble, cool guy.

Wow. Very cool.
Climbing just isn’t my thing. It’s like jumping out of an airplane. Fun for the people doing it and you push yourself mentally/physically but the risk of death just to say u did it doesn’t compute with me.
Sherpas climb those mountains like it’s a walk in the park. They don’t make many lists of the amazing climbers. Some do but rare.
