Got into Peru when I was 25, Simon 21.
:01:40
But we had done a lot
of climbing in the Alps.
:01:53
To climb mountains that have not been
climbed before, or a new route at a mountain
:01:57
is what my climbing life
had been moving towards.
:02:11
A friend of us, who'd done an amazing
amount of climbing in South-America
:02:15
had seen this face in the mid-70's.
:02:19
I think he said it would
be a challenging day out.
:02:31
It was the last big mountain
face in this range of mountains,
:02:34
that hadn't been climbed.
:02:38
There's a great unknown there.
:02:41
What's so compelling is
stepping into that unknown.
