“I experience my life so intensely and completely. I’ve been allowed to meet so many people and
see so many countries. I’ve been allowed to look into the most hidden corners of my conscience by

gift. The fear of death is not strong, but I will defend my life vigorously.”
“Climbing does not mean just competition and performance. It has other qualities that are
important: going on trips, meeting people, seeing other cultures...”

“Soloing for me is about being completely in the moment, not worrying about the past or future, but

mondo che gli è stato dato, piuttosto che cercare di cambiarlo. Impossibile non è un dato di fatto, è

Impossibile non è per sempre. Impossible is nothing.”
“Power is nothing without control.”
