As climbers, we need to learn to be good stewards of the land and take care of these places where we are spending so much time.

The best climbers have the will to hold on. They won't give up and keep trying over and over.

A lasting solution, the possibility to begin a new life, is the only dignified solution for the refugee himself.

We are the only country who is an ally of the United States that never asked for American soldiers.
