Everest Et Al



Don't climb a mountain to conquer it

that's hubris

Don't climb a mountain to conquer yourself

that's nonsense

Why climb more than one mountain

Why have sex more than once

Of course there are dangers

diseases, abusive partners, earthquakes, avalanches

We take precautions

We don't stop

We climb a mountain to experience the mountain

We climb mountains to experience the world

and sometimes the cost of that experience

is the world
