In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

The only thing I fear more than change is no change. The business of being static makes me nuts.

Getting things straight in your head is a major achievement because there's so much clutter out there. You've got to push aside the static to really hear the music.

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

Climbing is what I do.

Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.

I climb mountains.

I'm not very relaxed; I always need to be doing something.

I'm definitely on the incline to a peak.
