Scott E. Fischer (December 24, 1955 – May 11, 1996) was an American climber and guide, and the first American to summit 27,940-foot (8,516 m) Lhotse, fourth highest mountain in the world.
Fischer spent his early life in Michigan and New Jersey and took two years of climbing courses after being inspired at the age of 14 by a show he saw on television. In 1982, he and his wife, Jean Price, moved west to Seattle, Washington where they raised two children, Andy and Katie Rose.
In 1984, Fischer formed his own adventure company, Mountain Madness, which he set up to guarantee clients the summit of the world's highest mountains for fees in the $50,000 range. In 1992, while climbing K2 successfully, he was involved in a daring rescue of Chantal Mauduit, a French climber who became severely snow blind. She went on to climb five more eight-thousanders but died in an avalanche on Dhaulagiri (1998). From the 1992 season, Fischer brought a new level of commercialism to adventures from successes of climbing.

I have not even a reply for your words
I watch the cars as they pass by
Do you see indifference in my eyes
They reveal me
I want to love but there’s no one
I want to play outside but there’s no sun
I watch the rain as it pours on
I try in vain to write a song, but there’s nothing
I shut my eyes to pass the time
I hear the church bell ring out twice
And still nothing
I want to love but there’s no one
I want to play outside but there’s no sun
And I look into the sky and I see nothing
And I reach into my heart and I feel nothing
And my lovely muse has gone and turned to nothing
And nothing is what I feel today
I want to love but there’s no one
