Thinking back ... 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 the long term with good friends and ultimately with my own sons.

On foot and on the run.
In the mountains holding the heights.
Simplicity.
Focus.
Solitude and camaraderie.
The preparation and the unknown.
The arrival and the in-between.
