according to google and some judicious modding (I might want to try and translate it myself by using ye good old Latin dictionary but that later perhaps):
conatus plus est quam ascendere montem
there is no fast and simple latin translation for 'trialling'..... I choose "conatus" because it equals: effort, endeavor, attempt, struggle, trial (sic!)
illic
Brillaint, Michael. Must try and remember that. However, I know it's probably been a pretty grim day today but, perhaps, you need to get out more!!
My Latin ended after my first year at Grammar School in 1963 when my Latin master wrote in my end of year report 'Stephen likes Latin, regretfully, Latin does not like him'.
