- BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE is about climbing mountains ??? nothing else. Well, actually, there are one or two other things. But it's mostly about climbing mountains. And fish and chips. And politics. And doing a bit of fell running. And wondering where the hell your life's gone ??? and where it might be going next. And cooking kippers in a wet tent. And people you bump into who do similar things.
