Passage

Expedition mountaineering could be viewed as slow and heavy, where climbers may use porters, pack animals, glacier airplanes, cooks, multiple carries between camps, usage of fixed lines, etc. Expedition mountaineers still employ the skill sets of the alpine mountaineer, except they have to deal with even higher altitudes, expanded time scale, longer routes, foreign logistics, more severe weather, and additional skills unique to expeditionary climbing. The prevalence of expedition-style climbing in the Himalaya is largely a function of the nature of the mountains in the region. Because Himalayan base camps can take days or weeks to trek to, and Himalayan base camps can take days or weeks to trek to, and Himalayan mountains can take weeks or perhaps even months to climb, a large number of personnel and amount of supplies are necessary. This is why expedition-style climbing is frequently used on large and isolated peaks in the Himalaya. In Europe and North America there is less of need for expedition-style climbing on most medium-sized mountains. These mountains can often be easily accessed by car or air, are at a lower altitude and can be climbed in a shorter time scale.

Passage

At times there was something inhuman about Mr. Rogers, the Headmaster. His formidable chin fitted out in the most formidable way, and he seemed to be always frowning at the world in general. At the assembly he was like an inspecting officer in the army; he surveyed the gathered innocents with his crinkled eyes, and then began his list of morning rebukes. Any hapless offender, for the most venial offence, would be commanded to appear before his presence in front o the gathered ranks, and would then be subjected to a tirade of abuse that would leave him trembling or even in tears. Mr. Rogers was ruthless and cruel in public. "A dehydrated old sadist" was how Mr. Jones, the chemistry master described him.

The extraordinary thing was that in private he could be magnanimous and gentle. Any boy who was really in trouble would receive a sympathetic hearing, and went out feeling that the burden had been lightened.
