Sheer Joy

It's all meant to inspire. A famous George Mallory quote (the famous Englishmountaineer who died on Everest in 1924), together with Leo who retraced Mallory's footsteps up Everest....

"What we get from good health and adventure is sheer joy. And joy is, after, the end of life. We do not live to make money. We make money to be able to enjoy life - a moment of bliss when we climb a mountain, complete a marathon, an exquisite moment of heightened pleasure or bite into a sumptuous morsel of food, when we improve our bodies and minds, attain our goals and make our stamp on the world.. To some, that is what life means, and what is for"..
