- When you are in the mountains, you find out who you really are. Any mistake I make, it could be death. When it comes to that moment, you want to survive. You want to live. I climb so I can live every moment of my life.
- The climbing community of Nepal have always been the pioneers of 8,000ers, but they never got the respect they deserve. I want to represent the Nepalese climbing community.
