 +Hi, 
 + 
 +You may, or may not, know Frank Smythe. A fine mountaineer, a good walker, a competent photographer and an able writer. If you enjoy any of these things (or all) you should read his books.

 +It was he, with Eric Shipton, who made the final assault on Mt. Everest in 1933and after Eric had dropped out sick at about 27000 feet, had climbed alone, unaided by any mechanical assistance, such as oxygen to 28,100 feet on the extremely difficult North face
 + 
 +To my mindand I don't think that I am alone here, this feat ranks ahead of any subsequent (albeit successful) attempt on that mountain or any other.

 +"The best way of seeing any country is to journey through it on foot. In the case of the Alps this means passing from one valley to another over the intervening peaks and ranges and spending nights at inns or huts. To perform the journey successfully and enjoyably it is essential to travel lightly laden and carry everything needful in a rucksack, but Sybarites, among whom I number myself, may artfully contrive to send a clean shirt on ahead by post to await them at some village en route. 
 Clean shirts aside, the charm of such travel lies in unexpectedness. Even in a well trodden and accurately mapped country like Switzerland it is possible to experience the thrills of pioneering. Clean shirts aside, the charm of such travel lies in unexpectedness.

-No valley, no pass, no peak has been explored until you have set your foot there, and he who'sets out from a valley-in the morning to cross a range into another valley is as much an explorer in spirit as the more fortunate person who first sets eyes on the dazzling splendour of hitherto untrodden mountains." +
