Climbing is a journey without culmination.

It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.

I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody's a beginning climber.

I happily claim expertise in no single aspect of climbing, which is what has kept the passion burning hot all these years.

I would let climbing slide away if I had to maintain my relationship with my family. Because it really is the big adventure.

Climbing, for me, is all about solving the magnitude of the problem. The best projects are the ones with big question marks hanging over them.
