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.

I think that people ran out of oxygen and don't really know what happened up there, maybe some of them just made things up because they weren't sure what had happened.

What we can do now is contribute to a clearer understanding of what happened that day on Everest in the hope that the lessons to be learned will reduce the risk for others who, like us, take on the challenge of the mountains.

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.

I see the psychology of this team, I see they respect me very much as a climber, not like last year - these people value what I bring to them.
