Mark Twain Quotes

I'm really into extreme sports and just having fun.

I do not climb really dangerous stuff.

Nearly everything that was fun, of course, was also a little dangerous: riding roller coasters, skydiving, gambling, sex.

I do like adrenaline. Zip-lining is my favorite.

I am immediately disinterested when I hear mountain-climbing stories.

There are three elements of mountaineering - difficulty, danger, and exposure. Difficulty is the technical aspect of it. Danger, it is best to avoid, but some people like to increase danger to a point where their success is dependent only on luck. And exposure, which is what truly defines Alpinism, is what you face in wild nature.

The true alpinist doesn't want any infrastructure, he wants to go into the wild. And the odds of getting killed there are relatively high. And most people are sensible enough not to want that.

It's really impressive what those like Messner and Walter Bonatti have done - they are a big part of the history of alpinism.

Make it dangerous or it's not worth doing.

The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days.

I love doing stunts.

Danger is cool.

Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.

Everything is sweetened by risk.

I spent the night on a sliver of rock high up on the east face of Long's Peak, climbing with Tom Frost, and slept at the icy feet of the Dru, listening to the lightning crack above me and the thunder roll down. I only did it to write about it. I would never go up on the Grotto Wall for fun.

I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.

I like the edge of danger.

I love action and I love doing my own stunts. I love that sort of thing.

Rock climbing and surfing are two of my favorite things in life.

You need to be in danger; otherwise, you get old.

Today, to find a challenge is really hard. In the Alps, everything is done. The new lines, almost all of them are finished. So to find a new challenge, it's all beginning to go to speed.

When I'm not working, as a family we are obsessed with jumping off rocks into the sea and doing dangerous things.

I know it is a dangerous sport but this is something I like.

I always wanted to try Mt. Everest since I was a kid. I never thought I would be able to do anything like that.
