27. Who roped you up to Lord Douglas?<br />
I did it myself.<br />
28. Why was another rope chosen to tie you to Lord Douglas?<br />
Because the other rope was not long enough to rope me up to it, too.<br />
29. In your opinion, was the rope used between you and Lord<br />
Douglas strong enough?<br />
Had I considered the rope to be insufficiently strong, I would never have<br />
used it to tie myself to Lord Douglas, since I would not want to put him<br />
or myself at risk by doing so. If I had thought the rope was too weak,<br />
I would have realised that before the ascent of the Matterhorn and I<br />
would have rejected it.<br />
