The title is a quote by George Mallory, an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest, in the early 1920s. He answered "because it's there" when asked about his reasons to climb Mount Everest. It's clearly in line with the theme of the song and the album, "The Mountain", full of mountain references and metaphores.
