It's always

further than it looks,

It's always

taller than it looks,

And it's always

harder than it looks.

(The 3 Rules of Mountaineering)

"It's not the mountain that

we conquer,

but ourselves."

~Sir Edmund Hillary

"Each fresh peak ascended

teaches something."

~Sir Martin Conway

"It is not strange for the soul to find it's life in God.

This is its native air."

~Henry Drummond
