ice pick digs deep
breath spews thick mist
foot hold must stick
peak steep cold slope
stay calm keep hold
success not cheap

I can relate to this in life and experience! Can you believe it! I’ve walked a glacier twice in Alaska. It took endurance, certainly no complaining and also worth it. Our leader would chisel stairs. Congratulations! Love it for many things! A fave!
