Despite their beckoning vastness, mountains ask nothing, yield nothing and claim nothing. They neither praise nor admonish (though, admittedly, mishaps and tragedies feel like malevolence) and they crave neither recognition nor adulation, yet they inspire determination, admiration, fear, humility and awe.
