"In a sense everything that is exists to climb. All evolution is

 a climbing towards a higher form. Climbing for life as it reaches

 towards the consciousness, towards the spirit. We have always

 honored the high places because we sense them to be the 

homes of gods. In the mountains there is the promise of... something

 unexplainable. A higher place of awareness, a spirit that soars.

 So we climb... and in climbing there is more than a 

metaphor; there is a means of discovery."
