CLIMBER'S INTENT
I think the Sherpa guides still ask
at Everest what is the climber's
intent for the climb; as if all that
is paramount is that one has a
good reason. Not danger. Not
clime. It was Edmund Hillary,
I'm told, who said 'Because it's
there' - something to that effect.
-
The joke goes that they fetched him
a bucket and said 'wretch in here.'
He asked them why, and they said,
'Because it's there...'
