"Here we go. We lace up our boots, check the equipment one last time and take the first steps. Off to the summit! He is still far away, enraptured and a promise. Around us an animated crowd, babble of voices and roaring. Eyes wander – don't we know each other? Wherefrom? A melody vibrates in the air – cheerful, airy. Things are moving forward briskly. What can we expect?" (A.-M. Krüger)
