“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. “The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.” (Tennessee Williams) “Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.” (Greg Child) The pull of the horizon overcomes the inertia of reason…And you just have to go.” (Vikram Oberoi) “When the wind calls, you know, that somewhere in the mountains, it has found the answers that you were looking for. „In the mountains there are only two grades: You can either do it, or you can’t.” (Rusty Baille) “No matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied – it speaks in silence to the very core of your being” (Ansel Adams) “Mountains have a way of dealing with overconfidence.” (Nemann Buhl) „ My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.” (Aldous Huxley) “Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.” (Anatoli Boukreev) Getting down is mandatory.” (Ed Viesturs) Memory rebuilds the mountain, changes the weather, retells the jokes, remakes all the moves.” (Lito Tejada-Flores) “You never climb the same mountain twice, not even in memory. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man’s weak praise should be given God’s attention.” (Donald Miller) “And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth’s shore. Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home.” (Vera Nazarian)
You can turn around and go back the way you came. You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. You can climb it and cross to the other side. “If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options. “ It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” (Sir Edmund Hillary) “Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.” (Barry Finlay) “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home that wilderness is a necessity…” (John Muir) “Great things are done when men and mountains meet This is not done by jostling in the street.” (William Blake) Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.” (Edmund Hillary) “Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons.
