Traditionally, climbers are seen as very friendly, lovely people. But there's something going on at the moment. We perform the best on the big stage. This is the most intense season I've ever experienced. I've been training for 10 hours a day, eating, sleeping, and training. I'm going all in tonight. I'm going to risk everything.

We need to figure this out now. It could all be over. You're on the same team, but are you rooting for them? Some people are a bit too full of themselves.
