Hearing this from Sarah, I recalled the cracks beginning to appear in Alex's ar-
mour, the antithesis of his usual brash confidence. Looking back at my notes from
base camp, I realised that Alex was saying similar things to me. At the time, I was

Before Alex left for Annapurna, he and Sarah talked about getting a proper house
together. Sarah told Alex she wanted to have children. She knew Alex's Catholic
upbringing meant they would get married. 'If you get pregnant Sarah, you're the
one telling my mum, not me. You realise it will be a full church wedding with all
the trimmings. My mother won't have it any other way.'
