|  We will stomp to the top with the wind in our teeth. | | 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. | | What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. | | The highest of the world's mountains, it seems, has to make but a single gesture of magnificence to be the lord of all, vast in unchallenged and isolated supremacy. |
