The figure of 30 years was probably rounded so, just looking at that evidence alone, the actual number of years could have been somewhat more or perhaps less. He probably wouldn't have counted his childhood towards it.

However, don't forget that we also know that he, Molly and Bob Blackett climbed the Matterhorn 30 years and 9 days before the Swallows and Amazons climbed Kanchenjunga. As they were using a pretend name for it they were probably no older than about 15.
