Just a few quotes from Sir Edmund:
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.”
“You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things – to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated.”
"People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.”
"Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.”
"We knocked the bastard off.”
"There is precious little in civilization to appeal to a Yeti.”
"As far as I knew, he had never taken a photograph before, and the summit of Everest was hardly the place to show him how.”
You are to be sorely missed Sir Edmund.
