I see one single suitable role for my life's work: for it to be a gift to others.

Naturally, the top does not automatically make us better. Like the samurai frequented ordinary cutthroat, so sometimes extreme mountaineer can be self-centered, mythomaniac or crook to each yourself and the environment.

Isn't a person who can live on nothing much stronger? I try to nurture that transformation in myself.

I just have a dream mountain under the eyelids, this is my breath, my life.

Whenever a climber leaves the known paths, he enters an area without rules or routines... The only advice comes from deep inside the self.

For me, the ascent to the peak of the normal ways that torment and anguish. Inspired by the idea of ​​transition was always something that at the moment transcends imagination, seemingly absolutely insurmountable, so absurd in terms of the Himalayan conditions that up beautiful.

Great effort, fear and suffering sweet all the worthless chaff out of us.
