The Highest Of The World's Mountains, It

The Greatest Danger In Life Is Not To Take The Adventure.

Gradually, Very Gradually, We Saw The Great Mountain Sides And Glaciers And Aretes, Now One Fragment And Now Another Through The Floating Rifts, Until Far Higher In The Sky Than Imagination Had Dared To Suggest The White Summit Of Everest Appeared.

The First Question Which You Will Ask And Which I Must Try To Answer Is This; What Is The Use Of Climbing Mount Everest? And My Answer Must At Once Be, It Is No Use. There Is Not The Slightest Prospect Of Any Gain Whatsoever.

We Will Stomp To The Top With The Wind In Our Teeth.

My Mind Is In A State Of Constant Rebellion. I Believe That Will Always Be So.
