...If you can imagine a hidden place, tucked safely away from the world.... concealed by walls of high, snow-capped mountains. A place rich with all the strange beauty of your nighttime dreams... Then you know where I was (may 2009)...
(quote from 'seven years in tibet')
What I love about climbing is the absolute simplicity.
When you are climbing - your mind is clear... you have focus and suddenly the light becomes sharper, sounds are richer, and you are filled with deep, powerful presence of life.
The Everest trek was a real source of energy and inspiration for me, as I think for most in the group! It was a true adventure where one's physical and mental abilities were tried and tested to the fullest. It was the place where nothing mattered and where everything mattered. It was the place where you couldn't hear the outer civilization breathing down your neck and where you could hear every little voice in your own head. It was the place of solitude... the place of humbleness... peace... and happiness...
