Mostly it’s the experiences that count and the knowledge gained out of it – real values that persist in life. Interesting encounters, snapshots and great discoveries are exciting, they inspire and make you want more. They fuel the urge for future adventures. Hopefully they will motivate you to go out climbing and inspire your dreams.
