Because it is there
A missing climber who was presumed dead was rescued after being spotted by a drone. Scottish mountaineer Rick Allen was attempting to climb to the summit of 26,401 foot Broad Peak in the Himalayas when he fell from an ice cliff.
“A number of people came to the conclusion that I was not going to come back,” Allen said. A cook spotted something that looked like a backpack in the distance, the Bargiels Party launched their drone to investigate. Through the drone’s camera, they discovered Allen clinging to the side of the mountain.
The reason I climb mountains is because they are there. That is the reason everyone else goes around them.
A party of economists was climbing in the Alps. After several hours they became hopelessly lost. One of them studied the map for some time, turning it up and down, sighting on distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally the sun. Finally he said,’ OK see that big mountain over there?” Yes’, answered the others eagerly.’ Well, according to the map, we’re standing on top of it.’
The first person to make a mountain out of a molehill was probably a real estate agent.
My love for you is so great: I’d cross the hottest desert, I’d swim the deepest sea, I’d climb the highest mountain, but I can’t come over tonight because it’s raining.
