What I do believe in, and I'm sure Roger and all who work in the hills do, is that mountaineering is like a mind enhancing drug. The rewards are a deep personal fulfilment that is exceedingly difficult to describe to those who have no experience of it. It is a great pity that a man with such a wealth of knowledge and experience should be taken from us in such a way."
