In 1983 John did an epic climb of the Matterhorn in Zermatt in
Switzerland with a famous climber Roger Baxter Jones.
Roger was killed a year later in an avalanche.
John plans to return to Zermatt in September, at the age of 66,
- with a guide Harold Edwards - to complete the ascent again
–nearly 30 years later.
He has been training hard on the rocks in preparation for the
climb which he knows from experience is a serious endeavour.
"How much we grow will depend not only on the quality of our experience, but will depend on the quality of our reflections upon these experiences" - Beyond Adventure, Colin Mortlock
