“Not all mountaineers make the summit; sometimes they turn back, retool, keep coming at it. They’re just never satisfied with standing at the bottom, hanging out with all the other nonclimbers and explaining their lack of ascent. No, they packed up their tent and moved forward, and they will pass from this world knowing they gave every ounce of their effort. That they played full out. They loved the climb.”
