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.

I climb mountains.

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.

Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.

Mountain climbing is my passion, and to empower women through my expeditions is the reason.

I like being near the top of a mountain. One can't get lost here.

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

Mountains were once my big adventure but is is over since a long time; I still dream from the wonderful days sometimes, read also a few pages from a mountain book. But the thought of doing again active mountain climbing has faded.

On the summit of Everest, I had a feeling of great satisfaction to be first there.

Mountaineering has always been a huge hobby of mine.
