Read the poem that celebrates mountain climbing.
To the Mountains
Let there be light, the sky
Declares. And the sun answers.
Yellow ribbons cascade across
A serrated skyline, filling each valley
Until it bursts.
Alpine mornings wake in defiance
Of gravity. The rock opens its hands,
Draws men up, through the light.
Distant summits, where the earth
Meets the heavens.
The earth shifts through each ribbon,
Like water, an ocean of rock
Braced against, all that space.
Where men drift, a sea above and below,
And reach.
