:08:02
from all of the clutter
that we have in the world.
:08:37
I think we surprised ourselves as
we got up the icefield about 300m,
:08:41
and got up to a point where the
ice is running through rock bands,
:08:44
and you've got vertical cascades.
:08:50
We started intricately
climbing through these.
:09:07
The fact, that you are
tied to your partner,
:09:09
means that you put an immense amount of
trust in someone else's skill and ability.
:09:15
But at some point, you may be thinking,
:09:18
"For god's sake, Simon, don't fall
here, for god's sake, don't fall here"
:09:28
The rope can be something that rather
than save your life, could kill you.
:09:31
If your mate falls off then all
this gear rips out, you're dead,
:09:34
you're gonna go with him.
:09:38
If you're gonna do that sort of climbing
at some point you're gonna have to rely
:09:42
wholly on your partner.
:09:54
I think we were very pleased
at the end of that first day.
:09:57
We had done a lot of
climbing, good climbing.
:09:59
And we were very confident at
that point that we should make it.
