Climbing, for me, is all about solving the magnitude of the problem. The best projects are the ones with big question marks hanging over them.
When I'm 70 or 80, I'm still going to be doing good climbs. It's going to be fun to the bitter end.
I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody's a beginning climber.
It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.
Climbing is a journey without culmination.
There are people who can't bear to fail. Those people are on the short track as far as their careers go. You have to push hard, do hard things. But you also have to be able to say, 'OK, today's not the day.'
Identifying and overcoming natural fear is one of the pleasing struggles intrinsic to climbing.
