Quotes by Bill Runner (?)

“The thing about climbing, or any other complex problem for that matter, is to break it down into specific tasks. Focus on the individual tasks, forget about the whole.”
― Bill Runner, Blaze Returns

“The men were clearly feeling very confident. Logically, they did have a reason to be cocky—it was a five against one fight. But the main flaw in their logic was they didn’t know their opponent. Downing the shutters means you can take your time doling out punishment as all escape routes have been closed off. But that works both ways. There are times when the hunters become the prey.”
― Bill Runner, Hard Target
