I happily claim expertise in no single aspect of climbing, which is what has kept the passion burning hot all these years.
From Alex Lowe
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.'
I've definitely got lists of things I'd love to accomplish as a climber. But let's face it: The world's full of climbers, and the realm of unexplored, unclimbed peaks is shrinking rapidly.
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.
The best climber is the one who has the most fun.
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.
