You said earlier about being rattled after Everest⏤one would never assume that, of course.
You climbed the biggest mountain in the world, and you come down and you're rattled and your confidence is knocked.
(I) Think big mountains are humbling, you know.
And sometimes you take on these big projects and it's about, come on, we're gonna do it and you're full of that "confidence", but it's often quite surface.
Then, I think, when you see things close up and...
I think I came away with a real awareness of that I've been really lucky and got away with my life where others hadn't up there.
And this stage, Everest was killing one in six people's lives, you know.
And beforehand, I read about that and it was almost kind of... it was almost glamorous, it was almost, like, romantic, you know.
But you see the reality of it close up and it's not romantic; it's dark and difficult and confusing.
And I think my feeling at the end of it was that I got really lucky, you know, I've been, no doubt, dug deep in a few big moments and, you know, it was some 92 days on them mountains.
