Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that's something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don't want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them.

I have climbed Everest from the Nepal route and the China route. The other routes are too hard for me. So I don't think I can climb Everest again.

I'm done with Everest. I did it three times, and I need to be good at that and be happy with it and focus on other climbs.

I love Mount Fuji and I think it is my love of the mountains in Japan that led me to seek other mountains around the world.

It takes a lot of resources to climb Everest, and a lot of other people. But you should go do it.

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

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'm always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I'll build a new one.

I really haven't liked the commercialization of mountaineering, particularly of Mt. Everest. By paying $65,000, you can be conducted to the summit by a couple of good guides.

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.
