Chart(er)

Climb selected, team assembled

Set at the precipe of capability 

A glance at peak may overwhelm

Focus consumed by next step

Establish footing, check terrain

Radiate inner drive; contagious 

Weather clear; remain cautious 

Clouds always in flux - poised 

Weather closing; fast, ominous

Tempestuous mountain rebels 

Faith and tenacity: survival tonic

Make preparation for final ascent

Headwinds not quite impenetrable

Inching forward, pace quickening

Summit obscured, suddenly visible 

Flag posted! Elation infuses being.
