Be willing to sacrifice convenience, security, and even reputation in service of a calling.

Live for adventure and discovery, and refuse a merely comfortable or conventional existence.

Persevere through fear, fatigue, and failure when the objective still matters.

Respect the mountain as something to be approached with humility, not conquered with arrogance.

Let passion and curiosity guide your life toward difficult and beautiful goals.

Meet hardship with courage, endurance, and composure rather than complaint.
