What We Get From This Adventure Is

- Why Do You Want To Climb Mt. Everest, Sir? - Because It Is There.

I Look Back On Tremendous Efforts & Exhaustion & Dismal Looking Out Of A Tent Door On To A Dismal World Of Snow And Vanishing Hopes - & Yet, & Yet, & Yet There Have Been A Good Many Things To See The Other Side.

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.

Half The Charm Of Climbing Mountains Is Born In Visions Preceding This Experience - Visions Of What Is Mysterious, Remote, Inaccessible.
