Anatoli Boukreev
“Sinceramente, no siento miedo cuando estoy en las montañas. Por el contrario… siento cómo mis hombros se yerguen, se ensanchan; como los pájaros cuando extienden las alas, disfruto la libertad y la altitud. Sólo cuando vuelvo a la vida del llano siento el peso del mundo sobre mis hombros”
Anatoli Boukreev, The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest

Anatoli Boukreev
“But maybe, I thought, the price of climbing Everest is now being calculated in a different way. More and more people, it seems, are willing to pay a cash price for the opportunity, but not a physical price for preparedness: the gradual development of body and spirit as you climb lower-level peaks, moving from the simple to the complex and finally to the 8,000ers. Isn’t there accomplishment to be felt in such a process, I wondered, or has high-altitude climbing forever been changed by the use of oxygen, advances in technologies, and the proliferation of services that allow the marginally prepared to climb higher and higher?”
Anatoli Boukreev, The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest

“I don’t fear death. It’s how I have always been. I fear losing the people I love, but death itself, my own death, leaves a blank spot in my mind.”
Tommy Caldwell, The Push: A Climber's Journey of Endurance, Risk, and Going Beyond Limits

Matt  Larson
“Mountains are different and unique from anything else you will face in life in that they are the truest, cleanest representative of life’s challenges in physical form. There is no mistaking the end goal, and there is no mistaking who got you there. You have to count on you, and your arrival at the summit is the simplest and most honest achievement for your soul that you can experience.”
Matt Larson, 4000s by 40: Tackling Middle Age in the Mountains of New Hampshire

David Kudler
“But there are times — my favorite climbs — when it doesn’t feel as if I’m climbing. Instead, the cliff or tree or wall seems to be lifting me, higher and higher.”
David Kudler, Bright Eyes: A Kunoichi Tale
