This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.

A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.

People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.

I respect Everest very much.

I travel to Jakarta, I see what an important country it is. I've been working with them for a year.

I offer my expertise and experience for hire in order to help a group of people reach the summit.

Climbing is what I do.
