Here were these men, proverbial for their trustworthiness & devotion, who quite certainly enjoyed going high on the mountains; and yet, when on the point of reaping the fruits of their labours, they prudently held back. But I don't doubt their mentality struck them as even odder.

For several days, Couzy, the youngest of the party, would, in spite of all his arduour & enthusiasm, be condemned to stay low to carry out an essential but unspectacular job. He did it to perfection, & without a single word of complaint... It is this admirable spirit of self- denial which determines the strength of a team
