As a professional climber, that's the question you always get: Why, why, why? It's an ineffable thing; you can't describe it.

I truly believe the intention of creating positive change is so important to the collective consciousness. When you have a group of people that have the intention and the capacity, talent, and intelligence to actualize those intentions, then you have something really powerful.

I've always been interested in working with top athletes, athletes who are pushing the edge and are really progressive in the outdoor space and adventure world.

The best alpinists are the ones with the worst memories.

I have a joyful life, and I attribute that to both of my parents.

I guess happiness is not a state you want to be in all the time.

The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.

It's a very nice thing to be able to give joy to people.
