then you slowly developed, you went to the alps, you went to the himalayas, you discovered you couldditions and were actually interested in the whole business of logistics and leadership. so it's kind of an evolution, a development, as you go through life. the story of your life, as far as climbing is concerned, the camaraderie comes out very strongly. but there is of course another side to that, which is that if you are climb of the kind you've been, you are bound to lose friends rather regularly. people who don't make it. all too often. and i mean, if you think of it, all my big expeditions, annapurna south face we lost ian clough right at the end of the expedition. a fantastic friend. we'd done the north wall of the eiger together. then in 1975 nick burke, another great mate. 1978 on k2, nick escort, one of my dearest friends. then of course pete boardman and joe tasker. so yes, that loss of life is sad, but in a way it's something that i think you've got to accept if you're an extreme climber. and it still is... it's like going to war in a way. once again, you accept people are g

before you enter the gateway to the himalayas, you better self-medicate.here's snacks on the way!" great. i'll get a bag of peanuts. truth be told, i'm an angry, bitter man when i board. i'm guessing there ain't a shoney's or a p.f. chang on the way. kinda cute, little train. it's so little. it's the universal tours. when do we go on the king kong ride? while my stomach growls, i become the kind of traveler i warn against. gripey, self-absorbed, immune to my surroundings. but as my brightly colored, little train heads up into the hills from kalka station, known as the gateway to the himalayas, my worldview starts to improve. ♪ the unnaturally bright colors of india start to pleasurably saturate my brain. the views from the window of ridiculously deep valleys, hundred-year-old bridges -- it's well, breath-taking.
