But I chose K2 as a way for giving concrete form to my new concept of mountaineering: to climb the second highest mountain in the world solo, alpine style, and without oxygen. — Walter Bonatti

You enter the forest
at the darkest point,
where there is no path.
Where there is a way or path,
it is someone else's path.

your potential. — Joseph Campbell
