ReplyDeleteIt is a nice sculpture and I really like the quote. I didn't notice the climber until I looked at the close-up!
ReplyDeleteLove how they gave him a slope to conquer!
ReplyDeleteDid he pay for this honor himself?

ReplyDeleteMr. Black had it right -- love his quote! If you haven't read the book "Into Thin Air" or seen the movie "Everest", I highly recommend them (particularly the former). They provide great insight into what mountaineers endure mentally and physically to climb Everest.
ReplyDeleteAnother one nice sculpture. There are lot of sculptures in Your city. I like the small man on the edge...
ReplyDelete'No mountain too high'.. now that's a positive attitude! I like this sculpture very much Bill.
