 | | WEIHENMAYER: Well, I realized I wasn't going to be a very good basketball player or a football player. |
 | | And I remember our team leader, Chris Morris, saying, "Boys, if we fall here, if any of you fall here, we all fall." And that was a lot of responsibility, because I was still somewhat more inexperienced as a climber. |
 | | And I knew that, roped together with these team members, if I fell, I'd drag them with me. So I've always prided myself on being a member of the team, not just sort of being some token blind guy getting dragged up the mountain, spiked on top. |
