Thank you for your appreciation. I keep thinking about extending the music as I can imagine just that, but I can't change the poem.

[MrFrankParsons]

It's something I made up via an electronic keyboard and thought it suitable. Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for sharing this MrParsons. I was watching a documentary about the tragic 1936 Eiger attempt by Hinterstoisser, Kurz, Angerer and Rainer and thinking of your poem as I did...it fit perfectly. Well done.

Thank you for your appreciation. I wanted to do right for the memory of these climbers and people like them.

[MrFrankParsons]

Thank you for those generous words and your appreciation. I hear the word 'awesome' used to describe all kinds of mediocrity, and once,I even heard people talking of 'world-class car parks' (true). But then, of course, I learn of people like Mallory and Irvine and things appear in perspective.

A fine tribute indeed, well done sir!

fine tribute to Mallory..the determination and courage is etched in his face.I think he made the top and died on the descent.He always said the descent was the worst.

Lovely bit of writing, that.

It is my contention that divine providence chose Edmund Hillary - Tenzing Norgay to be credited with climbing Mt. Everest first due to the fact that George Mallory-Andrew Irvine would not have been even a 10th the humanitarians that Hillary-Norgay became. Mallory-Irvine, though brave and courageous, were nonetheless arrogant men.
