 “There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” ― Sir Rannulph Fiennes




 “Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.” ― Greg Child







 “Mountains seem to answer an increasing imaginative need in the West. More and more people are discovering a desire for them, and a powerful solace in them. At bottom, mountains, like all wildernesses, challenge our complacent conviction – so easy to lapse into – that the world has been made for humans by humans. Most of us exist for most of the time in worlds which are humanly arranged, themed and controlled. One forgets that there are environments which do not respond to the flick of a switch or the twist of a dial, and which have their own rhythms and orders of existence. Mountains correct this amnesia. By speaking of greater forces than we can possibly invoke, and by confronting us with greater spans of time than we can possibly envisage, mountains refute our excessive trust in the man-made. They pose profound questions about our durability and the importance of our schemes. They induce, I suppose, a modesty in us.” ― Robert Macfarlane



“In the mountains there are only two grades: You can either do it, or you can’t.” ― Rusty Baille






“Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”
― David McCullough Jr.




 The mountains are calling and I must go.” ― John Muir










 “When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge, and you try to express that challenge by climbing them.” ― Edmund Hillary


 “Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory.” 
― Ed Viesturs
