"The change of centuries has brought no cessation in the perennial pestering as to the nature of this climbing infatuation. The unenlightened still press with old-time pertinacity for a logical exposition of the instinct which induces rational beings to spread themselves over knobby countries or polish uncomfortable walls; mountaineers have long abandoned the attempt to answer, and wallers may imitate their compassionate shrug. What philosophic system could congeal into frigid words this harmonious exaltation?"
Geoffrey Winthrop-Young Wall and Roof Climbing (1905)

"IF YOU SLIP YOU WILL STILL HAVE 3 SECONDS TO LIVE."
