"We who go mountain-scrambling have constantly set before us the
superiority of fixed purpose or perseverance to brutal force. We know
that each heigt, each step, must be gained by patient, laborious toil,
and that wishing cannot take the place of working - - - but we know
that where there's a will there's a way - - - and with this in
mind I say, Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength
are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may
destroy the happiness of a lifetime."
- Edward Whymper
