in the shadowy corners of this ancient dwelling, where echoes of the past linger like whispers in the night, the concept of mountaineering takes a curious turn. offstage, away from the world's prying eyes, lies the preliminary phase of every adventure, a secret ritual where souls like mine pass over the threshold of the living to watch the living approach their dreams. it's here, in this unseen realm, where the true essence of rejuvenation blooms, for in the solitude of preparation, the heart finds its vigor anew, fueling the body to conquer peaks beyond the ordinary reach.
