Chapter Two
We move in the cold hours because the snow is firm and the mountain is honest. Above the last ridge there is no path — only the line you choose and the stars keeping score.
"You do not conquer a mountain. You are, for a few hours, permitted to stand on it."

Chapter Three
Going down is the part no one photographs. The light softens, the legs argue, and every switchback trades a little altitude for a little more of the world coming back into colour.
Chapter Four
Then, without ceremony: grass. A river that doesn't care where you've been. Warmth returns to the hands, and the summit becomes a story you'll be telling for years.
Chapter Five
The trail runs out where the water begins. You sit. You stop counting metres. The mountain is behind you now — but you are not the same person who started up it.
