that mountain is huge
more than wonderful, isn’t it
it is fabulous
but it’s difficult to climb
still should we have a go?

~it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves~

we will, yes, we will
we have all our equipment
that’s most important
okay let’s go, it’ll happen
and yes, we did, mountain done!

This image shows an open window overlooking a mountain top. White, fluffy clouds fill the sky, and from the window we can see a grassy verge below. A fence is guarding the edge of the mountain.
