Climb

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Climbing is the same story as my running story. After summiting Kilimanjaro last year, I could not let go of the mountains.

I realised there is just so much more out there. So many goals to reach. So many limits to pass. So many lines to cross.

I made a 5 year plan for myself. Gaining experience. Gaining confidence on high altitude. Gaining knowledge. Climbing indoor on a weekly basis, trad and sport routes on a monthly basis and climb ice routes once a  year.

It is all in function of the greater goal: EVEREST. It is in my mind. It is there. Every day. It haunts me. I must and will do it.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
