"It's like the quest for the holy grail. Who gives a [darn] what the grail is, its the quest that counts...its the transformation that is within you that is important."
1) This quote is in my opinion what his whole trip was about. He originally had one goal in mind and that was to get to Patagonia before the ice melted. This was Jeff and his crew's holy grail. Along the way they run into problems that cause them to have to pick choices they weren't expecting. After they get to Patagonia and try to climb the mountain but are not able to, the holy grail changes to how can they help Yvon and Doug before they have to return home. On the trip everyone involved was transformed by the time they were ready to go back.
2) I am starting my second semester of my senior year and according to my parents my holy grail is college. I have always had second thoughts about what I plan to do for the next for years and by the end of this year I think I will have a new holy grail. Going from high school to college is a big step in anyone's life who gets the opportunity to go. Personally I want to explore the world and see what lies beyond this chunk of land called America. I don't have a set holy grail for now but I know that in a few months I will have the transformation of a lifetime.
