Aye, that's correct, matey. But once you hit that second threshold check
row (which is, in effect, first for the core systems), then things start
potentially happenin' quickly...

If the conquest of a great peak brings moments of exultation and bliss,
which in the monotonous, materialistic existence of modern times nothing
else can approach, it also presents great dangers.  It is not the goal
of
*grand alpinisme* to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must 
undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of 
crawling grubs.
