“The simple fact is this: when you goto Alaska, you get your ass kicked.”
― Kiss or Kill: Confessions of a Serial Climber
― Kiss or Kill: Confessions of a Serial Climber
“Kako me more nekdo ljubiti in obenem trgati od gora, ki so postale moje življenje? Lahko me ljubi, živega mrliča, zunanjo podobo, toda to nisem jaz. Mene ljubiti pa je težko, ker me niti najgloblja čustva niso nikdar vezala na pusti svet vsakdanjosti. Nasprotno! Še več poleta daje mojim sanjam in hrepenenjem. Pripravljen sem bil vedno pustiti vse za seboj, da sem lahko hodil po poti, za katero sem čutil, da me kliče.”
