Sometimes an ember is all we need.
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!
I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.
The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.
I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast.
I find skydiving really hard. I broke my back while skydiving when I was in the military, and for 18 months all my nightmares were about falling.
All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.
Exercise helps my back. If I don't exercise, that's when it starts to hurt. The pain is a good motivator to run and exercise.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
It breaks my heart that my father never knew my children. He should have been around for another 25 years.
My favorite moments? Where it's all going swimmingly, the sun's out and I've got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.
Accidents on big mountains happen when people's ambitions cloud their good judgment. Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.
