“The biggest mountains are not climbed because of the quality of the equipment, or of the oxygen sets, or of the planning. Vital as those things are, they are only tools for men who have one goal, and who are so far masters of themselves that they can subdue their strong individualities in order to attain that goal. It was what we tried to do, under cover of a great deal of laughter, and while having an enormous amount of fun.”
