Climbing Technique

Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or technique:

    Flee from the press and dwell with soothfastness;
    Suffice unto thy good though it be small,
    For hoard hath hate and climbing ticklishness,
    Press hath envy and weal blent overall;
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
