Best Mountain Instagram Captions about Climbing that Big, Bold Mountain

1. “The justification of climbing is climbing, like the justification of poetry is writing; you don’t conquer anything except things in yourself…. The act of writing justifies poetry.

It is not a moving up, but a continuous flowing; you move up to keep the flow going. There is no possible reason for climbing except the climbing itself; it is a self-communication.” – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
