I have received calls from climbers around the world, who I don't even know that had heard how strong I was up their . It isn't risk if you are well prepared and working within your comfort level, I felt completely at home , I have had harder climbs in the Rockies. You know the Canadian Seven Summits expedition has a permit for 1999. I did it in 1 hour and 18 minutes. You should know coming to Everest that there is a risk.
People can die.
But I don't think that was on one person's mind. What was on everyone mind was reaching the summit. Yes, they were a Team, they trained together for three years. I really enjoyed the Sherpa climbers. I enjoyed interacting with them, having tea with them, and talking with them.
