The mission of a mountain guide is not to perform formidable activities, but to enable normal people to achieve climbing targets, they would not be able to accomplish without his help. Mountain guide, walking at the head of his group, is almost like the first person next to God, as he has the life of people, who fully trust him, in his hands. He makes decisions. He accepts responsibility. To make decisions concerning human life is usually considered to be God’s privilege. The mountain guide is separated from all the dirt, dishonesty, greed and treachery, which rule the world down below. It happens very exceptionally, that the beauty surrounding him does not touch his soul. He is not a saint, as some legends tend to tell, but he never becomes servile. His vocation, if performed faithfully, requires more of high moral and intellectual competencies than physical force. And it is this superiority of spirit over matter his courage and endurance results from.
