Sands went missing in January after going hiking in the Baldy Bowl area of Southern California.
The 65-year-old’s disappearance prompted an extensive search.
Hikers found his remains on Jun 24. The cause of death remains under investigation.
In the interview, Sands described climbing as “solace and a sort of existentialist self-negation, but equally a self-affirmation.”
“If you can deal with dangerous mountains, you can certainly deal with life as an actor — the two are quite complementary,” the actor claimed.

Sands said friends he “used to climb with have stopped going to the mountains, partly because they find, with climate change, the rock faces have become much more unstable, partly, it’s age.”
