Läste igår (på nytt) Aslak Aastorps formidabla artikel om Trollväggen som publicerades i Alpinist nr 7 2004. Som så många andra artiklar i Alpinist handlar artikeln inte bara om klättring, utan om livet.
Men jag plockar en tänkvärd passage om klättring som dagens citat:
"To acknowledge one's competitive nature brings a taint among some climbing circles; from that day on your words about the beauty of nature sound hollow to those who are not obsessed by your own choice of game. But in the end the games climbers play are all about the pursuit of emotion. I believe that if you love ratings more than the climbing itself you will never be able to move your own limits very far anyway – or at least the climbs won't make you very happy."
