"Without us mountains
and oceans have no meaning by themselves: they
“are there” and always will be but, for a very,
very few, their presence inspires a dream of
pitting our puny strength against their might,
and to conquer not them but ourselves. The quest
to prove worthy of an almost inconceivable
challenge is our greatest reward" John
Fairfax.
"Somebody had to be the first to prove, that it could be done. When it is done - the door is open..." Peter Bird |
