I was wanting to post this as a topic cause not everyone try to see the philosophical aspect of climbing.
So i will start:
"I had climbed my mountain, but I must still live my life." Sherpa Tenzing Norgay.

One of my favorites from John Long (in Sport Climbing, page 1):
In reply to: Correct climbing helps integrate both right (emotional) and left (logical) brain functions, and so opens up a path to experiencing wholeness. Climbing also involves the whole gamut of experiences. Climbing can take you to the stars, and dump you on your ass. However, when things get tough, if you keep perspective and realize that every move is a miracle, you'll be able to better appreciate all that climbing has to offer. Once you start pushing personal limits, climbing becomes an intense, committing activity. In one sense, climbing shows you who you are and what you're made of. No need to tackle the world's bleakest routes to know how it feels to be on top. Just climb, and you will know. |

OK, I don't know if this counts as a quote, but I heard this last Fri:
"Ah shoot, I'm not gonna make that next bolt. Down!"
"No."
"What?"
"No. Clip the next bolt. You can do it."
"No way, I'm all pumped out."
"Dude, I swear if you don't try, I'm gonna tie this thing off and you can hang there all night."
Nothing better on Earth than a good, mean belay partner.
