Excerpt from Mountain Climbing
Hat is the lure which every year draws perhaps a million people often far from their homes to face discomfort or danger that they may laboriously climb a few hundred or thousand feet? The fascination Of danger at tracts but few; many more are repelled by it. The explanation doubtless lies much deeper. The mountain climber enjoys the exhilaration gained from difficulties overcome. It is exer cise in the open, and an ascent to freer and more inspiring air and scene. The impulse is perhaps an inheritance from out of the remote primitive life Of the human race, which in an other age found expression in fantastic forms of nature-worship.
