In 2002, Neil Mc Carthy climbed Vinson Massif the highest mountain of Antarctica. He intoned the following quotation from Blake:

Great things are done when men and mountains meet;
This is not done by jostling in the street.

A nice choice I think you'll agree. But more interesting still is the fact that he's part of a fantastic gang of mountain poets, who together have notched up readings on over 21 vertigo inducing mountains worldwide. Their site Poetry on the Peaks hasn't been updated for some time (avalanche?), but it's well worth a look as they've documented each reading, and posted some breathtaking photos too.
