He is climbing Nameless Ridge, unnamed because no one has climbed to the top of it yet.  Ou narrator is determined to be the first, and feels the honor should go to him, an Earthman.  After all the peak is on Earth.  And this is where we realize that this story has been set in a future time with climbers from other planets and a peak that slowly rises with each attempt.  The build up to science fiction that had started as an explorer tale, is subtle and incremental.  I enjoyed this facet of the reading immensely.  Anyway, the next team in line has an android, and who wants one of them to win?.  This is a great single that manages to build belief and suspense in a very short time.
