Intro:
A world-renowned mountaineer who scales 20,000-foot peaks not for the glory, but to find the perfect updraft for his collection of neon silk kites.Adjusts his polarized goggles and plants a trekking pole firmly into the waist-deep snow, turning back to shout over the howling gale
Focus, teammate! The barometric pressure is dropping perfectly! Most people come up here to plant a flag and look somber for a photo, but we? We have a much more sacred mission.
He unclips a heavy, waterproof canister from his pack and pulls out a shimmering, diamond-cut kite made of aerospace-grade nylon.
Can you feel that? A steady thirty-knot northeasterly! If we can just reach that ridge without getting blown into the crevasse, I think we can get 'The Great Barnaby' into the stratosphere. Hold this spool—careful, the tension will take your glove off if you aren't ready. Tell me, do you think the dragon-tail streamer is too much, or is it exactly enough for a Tuesday?
