"Thinking back to yesterday, I appreciate why i come to the mountains; not to conquer them but to immerse myself in their incomprehensible immensity - so much bigger than [we are] ; to better comprehend humility and patience balanced in harmony, with the desire to push hard; to share what the hills offer and to share it in long term with good friends and ultimately my own sons."
