“Mountains are not Stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.” ~ Anatoli Boukreev

Life on the mountains is very much a natural and spiritual experience for me, and it seems that only when I return to these natural cathedrals of my religion, my heart fills and my soul calms, and my prayers make me modest. It is in these moments that life around me reflects new and sometimes not the way I have been accustomed to.
