“Whether your mountain is a literal one or not, I believe that God has put each of us on this planet to live a life that is beyond imagination.

― Brian Dickinson, Blind Descent: Surviving Alone and Blind on Mount Everest

“How many sleeps”
― Brian Dickinson, Blind Descent: Surviving Alone and Blind on Mount Everest

“I breathed a prayer as I continued up on my own: “Lord, go with me.” I didn’t look back.”
