"Exploration is a scientific endeavor," he says. Aside from fostering personal courage, the ability to conquer fear, and other valuable characteristics, exploring can refine the skills needed for various outdoor activities and help foster discipline and self-improvement. "As a result, I can pass on the techniques I have learned to even more people. This is the main purpose of exploration," Chen stresses.
「探險是科學的，」他說，除了個人勇氣、克服恐懼等特質的培養外，藉由探險，各項戶外活動的實務技巧又可以獲得磨練、精進，「然後我可以將學到的技巧傳授給更多人，」他強調，「這才是探險的主要目的。」
