THE CONQUEST OF MOUNT COOK
On our return I interviewed Graham, and said I would like to come back the following year and do some high climbing if he considered I was fit for it, and would undertake to train me in snow and ice work, of which I knew nothing. He willingly agreed to do so, saying he say no reason why I should not make a mountaineer. Mount Cook was never mentioned by either of us, and the next day I left for Sydney.
