I am ready, I feel my chances are 25 per cent. After Everest B een invited to Gasherbrum in Pakistan, then maybe Broad Peak, too. I have these opportunities, so that is what I will do. It's my life. I've been a professional climber for 25 years.
Nothing is different now.
Health R ecent auto accident has taken its toll. I'm not as strong perhaps as I was the past two years, but I am strong enough. On Climbing I cannot say to be glad or not glad to be on Everest. It is my life. I have opportunity to be here, so I am here.
