Climbing is what I do.

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.

I'm the sort of person who needs a big mountain in front of me to climb.

I'm one of those people who always needs a mountain to climb. When I get up a mountain as far as I think I'm going to get, I try to find another mountain.

Mountain hikes instilled in me a life-long urge to get to the top of any inviting summit or peak.

I learn something every time I go into the mountains.

If I see a mountain, I just pick up and hike it.

I climbed Mount Everest. I don't quit.

I climbed nine mountains because I love adventure, and I got addicted to that feeling and I never wanted to stop. I wanted to see what I could accomplish. I finally can say that I stood on top of the world.

I feel like I'm climbing as well, if not better, than ever.
