There is no response to stubbornly by many posed the question of the meaning of expeditions in the high mountains. I've never felt the need for such a definition. I walked to mountains and defeated them. That's all.

If we successful, we will enter into the history of mountaineering, we will have the opportunity to its success to sacrifice our colleagues.

I agree to the fight. The award, which is getting for these hardships, it is exorbitantly large. It is the joy of life.

Climbing is a great effort, but the extraordinary pleasure.

At a time when you stay at the top, there is no explosion of happiness - happiness is experienced when everything remains in front of you, when you know that you have to a goal a few hundred, a few dozen meters when you are right in front. This is the time of happiness.

I am not enough to be only in the mountains, not enough to be on an expedition. I believe that if the walks uphill, then with some goal, and that goal is to climb to the top.

The closer to the top, the more grew in me the belief that it might be fulfilled, which most dreaming.
