Why not set the hardest goal?
00:02
Let's get up Everest and down in seven days from London
00:05
and raise as much money as we can to make sure no one goes without.
00:09
So there's a number of disadvantages with not doing things quickly.
00:13
That whole mindset of procrastination leads,
00:16
particularly if you're at base camp, sickness sets in.
00:19
You're burdening too much on the use of facilities,
00:22
too much food, too much water.
00:24
All of this costs and all of this leaves waste.
00:26
By moving quickly through alpine ascents of mountains,
00:30
which was the intention of going back to Mallory and Irvine
00:33
and the great mountaineers of yesterday and certainly Reinolf Messner,
00:37
it's not about sitting there wasting money in a five-star hotel tent with Starlink.
00:44
So for us, we're looking at really proving the science behind climbing
00:47
and pre-acclimatisation here in the UK.
00:50
So what does that look like?
00:51
We're using the latest sports science to dial in our physical prep.
00:54
We're using technology to help us acclimatise and the safety of our own homes.
00:58
And we're sourcing the very best equipment from the latest oxygen systems
01:01
to the very best outdoor performance clothing from through dark.
01:05
This, with bomb-proof logistics, all combined,
01:09
is going to set us up for mission success.
01:10
I've seen on multiple operations in Afghanistan individuals perhaps that haven't returned
01:17
and most of them have left children behind.
01:21
And I think from my perspective,
01:23
doing something to support those children that have been left behind
01:26
is the most honourable thing we can do.
01:29
And the most honourable thing is that постepthews are soft.
01:34
They need to know a lot of us adding other details to א
01:35
that aren't Bienink.
01:36
They need people who don'tשה kids,
01:37
they need to know someone's instead of everybody.
01:38
So we can buy them who don't retreat.
01:39
We know what they need or to learn more about,
01:41
but what they need.
01:47
I hope they can convince me,
01:49
and think about years let nothing可是
01:53
are really hard and willingness to support you.
