“The most notable event of George's U.S. tour, at least in the public mind, consisted of a four-word quote that has been ascribed to him as his answer to the question: why do you want to climb Everest? George's reply, 'Because it is there,' has been used to represent an existential urge, felt by all mountaineers, to achieve a goal that is both physical and spiritual.”
