A climber journeys alone up a mountain seeking glory but gets lost in the darkness. While falling, he cries out to God for help and feels a rope around his waist tied to the mountain. When God questions whether he can really be saved, the man insists he can be, but God tells him to cut the rope instead. Rescuers later find the man's frozen body hanging just above the ground, having refused to let go of the rope as instructed. The story highlights the importance of trusting fully in God rather than one's own abilities or understanding.
