    Hello Fiona and Paul
    EXCELLENT interview!!! It was nice to hear your voice, Paul in addition to Fiona’s.
    I love the picture of Paul during the interview with his fists clenched. It seems to portray a man with a mission…some unfinished business. Regardless of whether or not you go back…congrats again to both of you on staying so focused and for inspiring so many people on this amazing adventure. Cheers – MC

    LOVED listening to your interview! Thank you so much for sharing. You brought me to tears. Good ones!
    Beautiful descriptions of the views from the higher mountain – one of the things which have drawn me to mountaineering over the years.
    Paul, this is ‘unfinished business’, I have a strong feeling you will return.
    Great achiement, congratulations and so much luck with anything you decide to do in your future together! I am sure whatever it is, you will excel at it.
    Sending my warmest regards,
    Liz & Tara Luanne 🙂

    Hi guys,
    Just a quick note to congratulate you both because without each other neither of you would have made it. It was a great joint effort. You are both an inspiration to everyone to follow your dreams. Hope the gu supplies made that achievement a little easier. Once you settled it would be great to get some feedback on what you thought of the product. Congrats again and you both made me feel like a proud Aussie.

    Awesome interview, you guys – it was super cool to hear the voices behind the writing these past weeks. Very neat. My husband and I just kicked back and listened for the duration :). Anyway, so glad you are home and safe. Can’t wait to hear more from you as you unwind —

    Paul and Fiona,
    Congratulations an a safe return. You two had me and my 14 year old son enthralled for the last 2 months. We couldn’t wait to turn on the computer and read your daily updates. It was such an accomplishment for the both of you in such a bad year on the mountain.Thanks for sharing your adventure with us and God bless.
