Richard wanted Simon all to himself
"I can hear Joe calling, but if I just go back to sleep..."

shareYeah, there were a number of times when he sure seemed to like Simon a heck of a lot. Like stating if one of the two men returned from the mountain, he'd want it to be Simon. Owch! Poor Joe.
shareI respect his honesty after all these years. Why would you tell this to anyone, even though it was true? It gives you insight in the human thoughts that we all have but are too afraid to express. You'd probably be lying if you told the public it didn't cross your mind after several days and/or you don't have a preference who'd you like to see come down more. Like I said, I respect his honesty.
sharebut i'd like to know the reason. was he closer with him? did he consider him a better climber? did he tell good jokes?
