Gravity

"Gravity is a myth, the Earth sucks."

"If gravity warps space-time, do grave thoughts warp your mind ?"

"We can lick gravity, but the paperwork's a bit tougher."    — Werner von Braun.

"Climbing is the only cure for gravity."

"Without gravity you wouldn't have a sport."    — Matthew Ketterling.

Gravity /n./: one of four fundamental forces in nature that affect skiers. The other three are the strong force, which makes bindings jam; the weak force, which makes ankles give way on turns; and electromagnetism, which produces dead batteries in expensive ski-resort parking lots.

"The law of gravity is strictly enforced."

"Climbing is not a battle with the elements, nor against the law of gravity. It's a battle against oneself."    — Walter Bonatti.
