"In the 1920’s when asked, 'Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?' and George Mallory asserted, 'Because it is there,' he was only stating the less important half of the equation. The unspoken half is that we are here. Striving and achieving is part of our nature, built into our genetic makeup. The evidence of man’s nature manifests itself in rocket ships to the moon, skyscrapers hundreds of stories high, and flags planted on summits all around the world."
