Yuko Dokura: They
push their limits although they know it's
dangerous. I couldn't do the same thing, but it is
attractive to me. I want to try to do something in
my life like them. They climb the mountain to reach
a goal. The mountains are there, and they are big.
I think they are attracted to such mountains
because they are so great. The power of humans
can't surpass that of the mountains. I
think the climbers are courageous because their
lives depend on the weather on the mountains. It is
very dangerous to climb mountains like Mount
Everest because the weather is changeable. I am
surprised at the power of nature. Climbers wear
gloves, but they cannot protect themselves from the
cold weather. But they never give up on conquering
Mount Everest. I am moved by their passion for the
mountain. I
feel climbing a mountain is a very brave thing to
do. A climbers' friendship is very honest and
wonderful. I
think climbers have great courage. A climber
believes in himself, so he can survive. I think it is very hard to climb a mountain. On the way to the summit, climbers lose friends from their team. They face danger, but they continue climbing the mountain. The reason they do it is that they are professional climbers. They climb the mountain to the top. To go all the way is difficult. I
can understand why they try to climb dangerous
mountains. Most people want to conquer something.
It is kind of like they find their goals by
climbing mountains. I mean that people want to have
a challenge to the limit of their ability. I
sometimes push, push, and push myself. After I
reach my goal, it is an excellent feeling. No
experience surpasses this kind of experience. I
wouldn't want to climb high mountains, so I don't
know why they want to do it. When they climb them,
they have a very hard time. They get frost bitten
and some people die. Maybe they want something to
be proud of and want to feel satisfaction because
they can do it. I
feel climbing a mountain is a very brave thing to
do. A climbers' friendship is very honest and
wonderful. Return to: The Search for Adventure | Issue 1
