Why devote a life entirely to mountains?
2016 was a good climbing year; expedition followed expedition, and I climbed my heart out. I shared some great adventures with even greater friends. We witnessed breathtaking sunrises, golden evening light, and starry nights. We suffered, screamed in pain, and walked for endless days. But why do this? Why devote a life entirely to climbing? Our motivations are simple: for the love of it.
