Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain Picture Quote #1

It’s not a real adventure when you have to pay for it Picture Quote #1

I have discovered that even the mediocre can have adventures and even the fearful can achieve Picture Quote #1

As a youngster I was a great dreamer, reading many books of adventure and walking lonely miles with my head in the clouds Picture Quote #1

Despite all I have seen and experiences, I still get the same thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb toward it Picture Quote #1

I think I mainly climb mountains because I get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I never attempt to analyze these things too thoroughly, but I think that all mountaineers do get a great deal of satisfaction out of overcoming some challenge which they think is very difficult for them, or which perhaps may be a little dangerous Picture Quote #1

I am a lucky man. I have had a dream and it has come true, and that is not a thing that happens often to men Picture Quote #1

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it Picture Quote #1

I have been seriously afraid at times but have used my fear as a stimulating factor rather than allowing it to paralyse me. My abilities have not been outstanding, but I have had sufficient strength and determination to meet my challenges and have usually managed to succeed with them Picture Quote #1

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn’t done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier Picture Quote #1

I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think the really good mountaineer is the man with the technical ability of the professional and with the enthusiasm and freshness of approach of the amateur Picture Quote #1

Once I’ve decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I particularly want to be remembered for anything. I personally do not think I’m a great gift to the world. I’ve been very fortunate Picture Quote #1

I’ve always hated the danger part of climbing, and it’s great to come down again because it’s safe Picture Quote #1

I’m sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you’re afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation Picture Quote #1
