Everest has always been a magnet for kooks, publicity seekers, hopeless romantics and others with a shaky hold on reality.
Jon Krakauer
Image
Everest? Don't forget it's really just a big pile of rocks.
David Breashears
Image
Everest is completely out of control. It's like crack.
Aaron Huey
Image
Everest you won't change, but I will get better...I will conquer you.
Edmund Hillary
Image
Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Everest wasn't like any other mountain. Only one of ten climbers who attempt the mountain stands on the summit. And for every three climbers who do scale the mountain, one dies trying. The facts aren't welcoming. But you don't plan a trip to Everest believing those facts will apply to you.

There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.
John Frankenheimer

You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest.
Brian Blessed

You don't play triathlon. You play soccer it's fun. You play baseball. Triathlon is work that you can leave you crumpled in a heap, puking on the roadside. It's the physical brutality of climbing Mount Everest without the great view from the top of the world. What kind of person keeps coming back for more of that?

The nuclear peril is usually seen in isolation from the threats to other forms of life and their ecosystems, but in fact it should be seen at the very center of the ecological crisis, as the cloud-covered Everest of which the more immediate, visible kinds of harm to the environment are the mere foothills.
Jonathan Schell

How will we get back up? I worried. I have a different route in mind for our return trip. Does it involve stairs? I asked hopefully. No. Of course not. How silly of me. And for our return adventure we will be scaling the side of Mount Everest, hiking boots to be provided by our trusty sponsor, Barrons Books and Baubles.

No one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time.
Edmund Hillary

I won't comment on what Bob Dylan said, but I will comment on his receiving the Nobel Prize, which to me is like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It's all bullshit on Everest these days.
Edmund Hillary

Climate change is the Everest of all problems, the thorniest challenge facing humankind.
Lewis Gordon
Image
Many people have been getting too casual about climbing Everest. I forecast a disaster many times.
Edmund Hillary
Image
Mount Everest is a very spiritual place, it's a beautiful mountain.
Lewis Pugh
Image
Ever since the morning of May 29, 1953, when Tenzing Norgay and I became the first climbers to step onto the summit of Mount Everest, I've been called a great adventurer.
Edmund Hillary

Some day I'm going to climb Everest.
Edmund Hillary

I've often thought about that and the only suitable member to join me on that climb [to Everest] was George Lowe: he was strong, a good man on a mountain, with a great sense of humour, and I liked that. I think George and I could've done that together ... I've probably never told George that.

I tell the players that they can't relive any day in their lives and that they can't relive the minutes of a game, so they should make a great effort, a Mount Everest type effort, to live up to their potential. Success is a communal type thing, and if we win, then everyone can be considered successful and we can move uptown together.
Al McGuire

A day might just be twenty-four hours but sometimes getting through one seems as impossible as scaling Everest.
Gayle Forman
Image
People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!
Aldous Huxley
Image
Gradually, very gradually, we saw the great mountain sides and glaciers and aretes, now one fragment and now another through the floating rifts, until far higher in the sky than imagination had dared to suggest the white summit of Everest appeared.
George Leigh Mallory
