The whole purpose of climbing something like Everest is to effect some sort of spiritual and physical gain. But if you compromise the process you’re an asshole when you start out and an asshole when you get back.

~Yvon Chouinard from the film 180 South°: Conquerors of the Useless

Great documentary about a couple of guys trying to create their own version of the now infamous 1968 trip of Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (founder of The North Face). Worth a watch.
