Why does a man climb a mountain? why has he forced his tired and sweating body up here when he might instead been sitting at his ease in a deckchair at the seaside, looking at girls in bikinis, or fast asleep, or sucking ice-cream, according to his fancy. On the face of it the thing doesn't make sense.
Yet more and more people are turing to the hills.
