“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

“When I am climbing, the mountain is part of me, and I am part of it.”
― Michael Schauch, A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya

“High above our everyday life, there is another world, sculpted before any human ever walked the earth, and accessible only by our will to climb.”
― Michael Schauch, A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya

“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
