More quotes by Anatoli Boukreev
Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.
Anatoli Boukreev
Mountains are cathedrals: grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I go to them as humans go to worship...From their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future, and with unusual acuity I am allowed to experience the present moment. My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn.
Anatoli Boukreev
Climbing is what I do.
Anatoli Boukreev
I am not sure the others are as committed as Rob Hall and Scott Fischer. I think there is more business now, and I know it will be impossible to stop this Everest business.
Anatoli Boukreev
I offer my expertise and experience for hire in order to help a group of people reach the summit.
Anatoli Boukreev
I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.
Anatoli Boukreev
This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.
Anatoli Boukreev
Mountains have the power to call us into their realms and there, left forever, are our friends whose great souls were longing for the heights. Do not forget the mountaineers who have not returned from the summits.
Anatoli Boukreev
I cannot say to be glad or not glad to be on Everest. It is my life. I have opportunity to be here, so I am here.
Anatoli Boukreev
I travel to Jakarta, I see what an important country it is. I've been working with them for a year.
Anatoli Boukreev
How could the adventure seeker of today find satisfaction with the level of performance that was a standard set more than 40 years ago ?
Anatoli Boukreev
I respect Everest very much.
Anatoli Boukreev
People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.
Anatoli Boukreev
A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.
Anatoli Boukreev
Honestly, I do not experience fear in the mountains. On the contraryI feel my shoulders straightening, squaring, like the birds as they straighten their wings. I enjoy the freedom and the altitude. It is only when I return to life below that I feel the world's weight on my shoulders.
