I think I said, "No,
I've broken my leg".

:25:06
Immediately, just doom. I
thought "god, we're stuffed".

:25:12
We're gonna be doing well if
either of us gets out of this now.

:25:19
It did come into my mind, just thinking,
:25:21
"If he slips off the side of the
mountain now, then I can just clear off,"

:25:25
"and leave him and get myself down and
I don't have to have all the hassle,"

:25:30
"of trying to deal with him and
with the situation we're in".

:25:38
He gave me these painkillers which
were effectively headache tablets.

:25:41
And he didn't really
talk about anything.

:25:46
It was almost as if he...
He knew, what this meant.

:25:50
He knew, and I knew, that he
was going to have to leave me.

:25:56
He could have said something like
"I'm just going to get some help"

:25:59
and I'd gone "right, yeah"
:26:03
'Cause I knew there wasn't any help.
:26:05
That'd been an easy
way for him to say it.

:26:09
I didn't think we really seriously
thought that there was any choice

:26:22
I couldn't put my finger on it, why
I thought something had happened.

:26:27
And I started to think "Is one of
them dead, or are both of them dead?"

:26:33
Even "If one of them is dead", not
"which one do I want to be dead", but

:26:36
"if one comes back,
who do I want it to be?"

:26:42
It's kind of, quite cold
to say it, but I guess

:26:43
I would rather have it
would have been Simon.

:26:50
I thought, "oh, he's not leaving"
:26:58
I calmed down a bit and
managed to focus myself again
