Bear Grylls Quote
The infamous South Col awaited me over the top.I longed to see this place I had heard and read so much about. The highest camp in the world at twenty-six thousand feet--deep in Everest’s Death Zone.I had always winced at the term Mountaineers are renowned for playing things down, yet mountaineers had coined the phrase--I didn’t like that.I put the thought aside, pulled the last few steps over the spur, and the gradient eased. I turned around and swore that I could see halfway around the world.A think blanket of cloud was moving in beneath me, obscuring the lower faces of the mountain. But above these, I could see a vast horizon of dark blue panned out before me.Adrenaline filled my tired limbs, and I started to move once more.I knew I was entering another world.
