It's the journey toward doing these harder climbs that really gives value to the whole activity of climbing.

Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.
