Greg Child (born 12 April 1957) is an Australian-born rock climber, mountaineer, author and filmmaker.
Maybe Himalayan climbing is just a bad habit, like smoking, of which one says with cavalier abandon, must give this up some day, before it kills me.
Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.
If we ever have children and they become climbers I'll tell them, Stay away from expeditions. They'll make you poor and neurotic.
The mountain is nothing without people on it. Often you part expedition exasperated, but a year or two later you go back with the same partners knowing there's potential in this human relationship.
The mountains are beautiful but they are not worth dying for.
Near the foot of the mountain we visited a yogi who dwelled in a hollow tunneled beneath a boulder. He pondered our notion of climbing Shivling and said: 'First travel, then struggle, finally calm'.
