"The real challenge, therefore, is to value the danger you want to challenge: if you get up tomorrow and climb alone to say that you have done it, it means that you are risking your life for nothing. If tomorrow an amateur, to follow the whim of climbing Everest, queues up between the Sherpa fields, he is only putting himself at risk and damaging a beautiful mountain for trivial as well as purely selfish reasons."
