Dhaulagiri, 8167m 

" In reality the sight which awaited us at the top of the hill far exceeded anything we had imagined. At first glance we could see nothing but filmy mist; but looking more closely we could make out, far away in the distance, a terrific wall of ice rising above the mist to an unbelievable height, and blocking the horizon to the north for hundreds and hundreds of miles. This shining wall looked colossal, without fault or defect, with seven-thousand-metre peaks leading up to the eight-thousanders, and we were quite overwhelmed by the magnificence and grandeur of the sight. This was the Himalaya, our promised land, and from now onwards we would carry this vision with us wherever we went."
