To climb a mountain is to simultaneously give up small pieces of what you know to be true, while also finding yourself whole, complete. Climbers must let go of ego and take a moment to read what the mountain is telling them. Whether the soft murmurs are being carried on the wind, or the rocks are screaming at you, listening to Mother Nature when she speaks may very well save your life. and yet, sometimes it is not the mountain herself calling to you, rather the ghosts from years past pleading “don't go there”. And when you do, you leave a resolute path that has been walked a time before. Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.

If you would have taken the time to slow down, you might have noticed the footprints surrounding the cabin, in a calm and even stride. But now, it is too late. Because you wounded him. You stole from him. And now, it is his time to get his revenge. And all you can do is try to defend your life.

The first attempt up the north face had a 100% mortality rate, and for 4 years after that the mortality rate was 50%. The wall became known as the “murder wall”, and with a name like that, rescue parties wanted nothing to do with it. If you were crazy enough to climb the Eiger, you got yourself off, or you died.

Life can be hard, but children are resilient. As a child, you can find fascination in the simplest of objects, find friends in birds flittering by over your head, and companionship with the trees and leaves. You play eagerly, and learn without intention, letting the elements of the earth breathe life into your skin and soul. The sun dances on your cheeks and the wind rustles your hair. Helping you to connect to what really matters - for it is Mother Earth that provides everything we need to survive. Curled up in a bed of warmth. A belly full of berries and a stream satiated your thirst, you find yourself drifting off to sleep with nothing but wonder for tomorrow. You are almost 4 and when the morning sun brightens the sky, you open your eyes and blink the sleepiness away. Then your eyes focus and you find, that you are utterly alone. Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.
