Peter Croft quotes
-
“All of us knew that climbing was a sure way to stay poor, a lousy way to impress people and definitely no way to meet girls.”
-- Peter Croft -
“For me an adventure is something that I can take an active part in but that I don't have total control over.”
-- Peter Croft -
“To reach beyond what you are you must ignore the rules and fashions of the day. Or perhaps better yet cast them way out in your peripheral vision where you can still see them but only as a vague reference point. This doesn’t mean that all the rules are gone. It might mean that you adopt a far tighter code of conduct to ensure the necessary level of intensity and adventure.”
-- Peter Croft -
“What I saw so clearly when I started climbing was adventure. Difficulty was only an ingredient. I never thought to wonder about grades, just as I never thought to wonder what Tarzan might bench press. I found the closer I moved to sport, the closer I felt to science - and the closer I moved to adventure, the closer I felt to greatness.”
