chesshir most of the accidents occur when you're coming down and there's a tendency to relax a little less what i think that's what happened when one of the two hours on the slopes and i could see and we could see that they would they didn't stop for the decision to do a dolly and then that's the only chance they strapped away more steeply from another as

ben after the initial horror of the accident of seeing these two friends fall to their deaths the conclusion or a feeling you have coming out that wasn't happened at them that didn't happen to me and so you didn't feel personally threatened by the mckinley thing was different because this was a direct us sen tom are on me and it was a little thing had been deferred via i were not made christian rock and i went to the family really looking for to mount everest chris was the year that the league or ventures everest expedition and we're all very well for

twenty five years will exceptionally right now who are outside of how isolated and we were really into this country listeners said within nine he and chris was going on i was making this land and with trying this recent risk again

and i that's right i mean i'm thinking this is a soldier rose colored three a half or three top and when we went in the us about thirty thousand dollars in awarding convention to class chris has waged workers face down and this pack on that was once

weeks trying to work my way of each day i go out and buy sex and pokes through the snow and the ice each step of the way on what sometimes on my hands and knees and i was twenty five and i had no interest to bivouac set in the first few days singing sal y singing the green trees and be

overwhelmed but the most striking thing was to get on the airplane and it's no flowers and trees memories across the face was was almost overwhelming when you came back from that you realized how precious life was is he coming out and things like that i think you know you really are forced to reflect on what it is you do what is justified thirty your wife or your family cheered walker's to plans to take actions that might lead tear tear down i didn't know what to think
