I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.

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

I respect Everest very much.

Mountains have the power to call us into their realms and there, left forever, are our friends whose great souls were longing for the heights. Do not forget the mountaineers who have not returned from the summits.

How could the adventure seeker of today find satisfaction with the level of performance that was a standard set more than 40 years ago ?

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

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.
