“Kangchenjunga is something more than unfriendly, it is imbued with a blind unreasoning hatred towards the mountaineer.”
Mick Conefrey, The Last Great Mountain: The First Ascent of Kangchenjunga

“It might sound strange, it might sound irrational, but in extraordinary situations people often behave in extraordinary ways. Elaborate conspiracy theories are just an attempt to bring order to the chaos of life. Reality is frequently much stranger.”
Mick Conefrey, The Ghosts of K2: The Epic Saga of the First Ascent

“Instead of the monotonous horizons of the far north, all the landscape around K2 has the richest variety of design, the greatest majesty of form and an infinite diversity of plane and perspective… The scale is far too vast for one to receive an impression of the whole at once. The eye can only take in single portions.”
Mick Conefrey, Ghosts of K2: The Race for the Summit of the World's Most Deadly Mountain
