Climbing is what I do.

I don't regard myself as a cracking good climber. I'm just strong in the back. I have a lot of enthusiasm, and I'm good on ice.

To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.

When you are on a climb, you always pick out people's words of encouragement, and it can push us on, without doubt.

I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.

I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.

Through climbing, I've learned to find goals and work toward them. That's just the way I love to live.

Whenever I climb I have to also entertain.

I enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too.

I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody's a beginning climber.
