I don't know why I did it, I think I knew
the big picture of what had happened to me,

1:05:05
and what I had to do was so
big I couldn't deal with it.

1:05:52
I stayed on Simon's tracks, and
they were weaving around over humps,

1:05:55
and past obvious crevices and stuff.
1:05:57
I thought, "Well, unless I come to a
hole with his body in the bottom of it,"

1:06:01
"these tracks will lead me
through the minefield of crevices".

1:06:14
All these huge mountains
around you, big mountain walls.

1:06:19
And they do make you
feel small and vulnerable.

1:06:22
And you wonder whether there's
some malign presence out to get you.

1:06:39
It was like somebody
was just teasing an ant,

1:06:42
and putting something
in its way all the time,

1:06:44
and eventually gonna stand on it.
