Add mountains section — Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp

Altitude cognitive impairment at 4,400m maps directly to IR under
fatigue. "Come home alive — summit is secondary" = preserve evidence,
don't make the breach worse.

+People think airsoft is a weak man's game. The mountains answered that.

+At 4,400 metres on Kilimanjaro, the altitude hit hard enough that David forgot what gloves were for. He was holding them, looking at them, and could not connect the object to the action. That is what cognitive impairment under environmental stress looks like. He kept climbing anyway.

+**The cybersecurity parallel is direct:**
+- At 3am during a ransomware incident, your brain is at altitude. Cognitive impairment from fatigue, stress, and information overload is real. The IR playbook is your gloves — you might forget what they're for, but you trained with them enough that muscle memory carries you through.
+- **"Come home alive — summit is secondary."** In IR terms: preserve evidence, protect the business, don't make the breach worse chasing a heroic fix. Know when to stop climbing and come back down.
+- **One foot in front of the other.** That's how you climb mountains and that's how you handle a 72-hour incident response.
