Quotes by Porter Fox (?)

“To those who have struggled with them, the mountains reveal beauties that they will not disclose to those who make no effort. That is the reward the mountains give to effort. And it is because they have so much to give and give it so lavishly to those who will wrestle with them that men love the mountains and go back to them again and again. The mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand upon their summits.—Sir Francis Younghusband”
― Porter Fox, DEEP: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow
