“You can solo-climb Everest without using oxygen or you can pay guides and Sherpas to carry your loads, put ladders across crevasses, lay in 6,000 feet of fixed ropes, and have one Sherpa pulling you and another pushing you. ... The goal of climbing big, dangerous mountains should be to attain some sort of spiritual and personal growth, but this won't happen if you compromise away the entire process.” IfsShouldBigsHappensSpiritualProcessGoalGrowthPayFeetDangerousMountainLaysPersonal GrowthGuidesCompromiseFixedClimbsPushingClimbingLoadPullingSoloOxygenRopeLaddersEverestSherpas Author:Yvon Chouinard
“If prosecutors in the state of Utah continue on the path they are on in seeking us out, I hate to tell you what might happen. To put it bluntly - the mountains could come down upon them.

“Everest has a special place in all of our imaginations. For centuries, Everest was a little bit like the moon. It was the place where everyone wanted to go. Empires wanted to be able to say that they were the first to put a climber on top of Everest. So when a tragedy happens up on that mountain, I think it has a global resonance. Everybody's heard of Everest. Everybody knows what Everest is and what it means, and the significance.” ThinkingKnowsFirstsMeanLittlesHappensAbleWantedBitsImaginationHeardSpecialCenturyMoonMountainLittle BitTragedyEmpiresSignificanceResonanceEverestSpecial PlacesClimbers Author:Richard Engel

“My uncle Max was a mountain, a shooting star, a big bear of a man, a piggyback ride waiting to happen, his pockets full of candy and, later money, or whatever the particular currency of our ages happened to be.
