There is room at the top if you make it. In life very rarely do we climbed alone. Stop complaining about Ziggy’s lack of pants that’s part of his character.
One of my first Ziggy cards was a trifold. It shows Ziggy with stick, writing I Love You in the sand. Then just, I Love You is there and wave is coming. Last, wave gone, Ziggy gone, and I Love You is still there. You’ll never know how many times this card has comforted me. The Love never leaves even if you’re alone or gone.
Well, typically those focused on climbing to the “top” of whatever don’t have time, energy or emotional maturity to have anyone else along for the ride . .. unless they’re just arm candy. In which case, it’s easy to just jettison them off once you get to the summit.
“I noticed a crack between the rock and the snow sticking to the East Face. I crawled inside and wriggled and jammed my way to the top … Tenzing slowly joined me and we moved on. I chopped steps over bump after bump, wondering a little desperately where the top could be. Then I saw the ridge ahead dropped away to the north and above me on the right was a rounded snow dome. A few more whacks with my ice-axe and Tenzing and I stood on top of Everest.”
Tenzing later wrote that Hillary took the first step onto the summit and he followed. They reached Everest’s 29,028 ft (8,848 m) summit – the highest point on earth – at 11:30 am.
They spent about 15 minutes at the summit. Hillary took a photo of Tenzing posing with his ice-axe, but there is no photo of Hillary. BBC News attributed this to Tenzing’s having never used a camera; Tenzing’s autobiography says that Hillary simply declined to have his picture taken. They also took photos looking down the mountain.
Tenzing left chocolates at the summit as an offering, and Hillary left a cross given to him by John Hunt. Their descent was complicated by drifting snow which had covered their tracks. The first person they met was Lowe; Hillary said, “Well, George, we knocked the b…..d off.”

Kevin Costner’s character said something very close to that to Kelly Preston’s character in “For the Love of the Game.”
