An interview with Technical Team
- What is Alpine climbing for Edurne Pasaban?
- We live in a society in which it is difficult to find happiness doing what we like doing; after a period of reflection and observing myself objectively, I now know that climbing is truly my life force.
- The quality that people recognize in you?
- I think I am a good friend, I try to help the people I love. I am stubborn and steadfast; perhaps this is why I climb mountains.
- Your flaw?
- My biggest flaw is a lack of patience. I like things that are fast and that happen immediately and I realize that this is a huge defect.
- What do the following mean to you:
- Adventure?
- For me, life without adventure makes no sense.
- Risk?
- A useless thing. I believe that life is the most precious treasure a person has. If it is risky it is very complicated.
- Passion?
- Without passion you cannot accomplish anything or enjoy yourself. One day I would like to live everything with extraordinary passion.
- Friendship?
- In life friendship is a fundamental value; all this makes no sense without friendship. Good friends are forever, the ones who will always be there.
- La forma fisica?
- In our sport, keeping in shape is necessary, but also even a normal life is easier to live if you’re in good shape and practice sport.
- Vacation?
- Necessary and unavoidable.
- Your favorite film?
- "The Gladiator" by Ridley Scott.
- Your favorite song?
- I like all music, especially easy listening. Each of my expeditions is linked to a music or to a performer. I associate a song with each trip.
- The historical figure that you admire most?
- I admire all those who did some good for humanity.
- The athlete you admire most?
- I admire all athletes who do what they do with passion and for enjoyment.
- f you hadn’t become Edurne Pasaban, what would you have done?
- To tell the truth, it is very difficult to answer who you would be when you like who you are very much. I would certainly do something that involved human contact, I like working with people.
