Ex: "NHPS - where "almost" IS good enough!"
"Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and NHPs"
"NHPS - Because it is there. And I'm not"

That last one is good enough! But can't wait to hear the others.cougarmagic wrote:Submit your ideas.

so close, yet so far
too close for comfort
"X" marks the spot (to avoid)
"Climb the mountains [but not all the way] and get their good tidings." - John Muir
“In the mountains, the shortest way is from [near] peak to [near] peak: but for that you must have long legs” - Nietzsche
“He who [almost] climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.” Nietzsche
“On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will [not] reach a point higher up today, [n]or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.” Nietzsche
“Mountains cannot be surmounted except [by not surmounting them] by winding paths.” Goethe

OMG, this is cracking me up. Ze, Nietzsche is certainly the patron saint of the organization.
"...but we have not yet mentioned simple exhaustion, the ordeal of dragging one foot after the other, against all reason and gravity, up over rock and snow toward the sky, with pack on back, the agony of unnatural effort that begins at the very foot of the mountain. Here I can speak from personal experience. I find that first step upward so difficult that each time I begin the ascent of a mountain I swear to myself, Never again, I say, and mean it. The body objects, the heart and lungs complain, and gravity, with arms of lead, drags at our limbs, pulls down our vanity. And yet the pain of it all is soon forgotten (like childbirth, they say) and a week or a month or a half-year later we're at it again, trudging with iron shoes and pig-iron on the back up yet another mountain trail, toward one more ugly, meaningless, and brutal rock pile in the sky. If we did it for pay, we'd call it slave labor. What punishment could be so cruel and unusual as that which is self-inflicted?" -Ed Abbey "The Journey Home"

"Been there; haven't done that"
"What, me climb mountains?" (think Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman)
"I just don't get the point"
"Summiting is so ... pedestrian" (said with an aristocratic "looking down one's nose" tone)
"All I really wanted was the 'T' shirt."
"Peaks are for pansies"
"What? And leave no room for improvement?"
"No fair peaking"
"Goldbricks r us"
"It's not about how high you are; it's about how high you feel"
"Peaks are for the little people"
"I'm already above it all"
"Peaks are so not Feng Shui"
"What? Do I look like a guru?"
"There's no point in peaks"
"'Peak' is a four letter word around here"
"No peaks, no problem"
"Peaks are pointless"

Hikin Jim!!! All of those are GREAT! 
I think I really like "No Peaking" the best. simple, clever, and to the point (no pun intended...haha)

I thought of a couple more:
"NHPS -- where less is more"
"the fewer the better."
I kind of like "No peaks, no problem"
I can see it now. We've got our logo and our motto:
"No peaks, no problem"
