The Everrest Project Never stop. Ever grow.
“I have a constant need to improve and grow, a thirst for challenges.”
“I never see myself retiring and standing still — ever-rest. I always want to grow; I have several aspirations and projects to carry out.”
“This project is to celebrate my sixtieth birthday by climbing the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, on the border of Nepal and China. To accomplish this feat and prove to myself that I can.”
“Climbing Everest is not just an external achievement, but something that expresses my internal need to be able to control myself. Be it my emotions or my thoughts.”
“Thus, the Everrest Project became as big as Mount Everest itself. Others will follow, such as marathons, swimming crossings, managing to stay in the quietest room in the world for an hour, or even going to space.”
“The Everrest Project will be the first of a series of mountains.” — Mestre Márcio Mendes
