4000s by 40 Quotes

“Mountains are different and unique from anything else you will face in life in that they are the truest, cleanest representative of life’s challenges in physical form. There is no mistaking the end goal, and there is no mistaking who got you there. You have to count on you, and your arrival at the summit is the simplest and most honest achievement for your soul that you can experience.”
― Matt Larson, 4000s by 40: Tackling Middle Age in the Mountains of New Hampshire
