**Attempt #<%= s.attempts %>** Three trials stand between you and the summit. Fail any one and you begin again. [[Approach the first trial->Trial One]] A narrow ledge above a long drop. One wrong step is fatal. [[Hug the wall->Trial Two]] [[Leap across->Fall]] A riddle gate bars the path. "What has roots as nobody sees?" [[Answer: a mountain->Trial Three]] [[Answer: a river->Fall]] The final climb. Your grip is everything. [[Climb steadily->Summit]] [[Rush the top->Fall]] You fail — and the mountain sends you back to the bottom. <% s.attempts++; %> [[Begin again->Start]] You clear the last trial and stand atop the peak. There was only ever one way up; the challenge was surviving it. **The End** [[Climb again->Start]]
