Heinrich Harrer
Heinrich Harrer (German pronunciation: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈhaʁɐ]; 6 July 1912 – 7 January 2006) was an Austrian mountaineer, sportsman, geographer, and author. He is best known for being on the four-man climbing team that made the first ascent of the North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland, and for his books Seven Years in Tibet (1952) and The White Spider (1959).
Early life
Heinrich Harrer was born 6 July 1912 in Hüttenberg, Austria in the district of Sankt Veit an der Glan in the state of Carinthia. His father was a postal worker. From 1933 to 1938, Harrer studied geography and sports at the Karl-Franzens University in Graz. Harrer became a member of the traditional student corporation ATV Graz.
In 1935, Harrer was designated to participate in the Alpine skiing competition at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The Austrian Alpine skiing team, however, boycotted the event due to a conflict regarding the skiing instructors' status as professionals. As a result, Harrer did not participate.

Here We Are
by: George JonesIf you say that you've been searchin' for
A place you've never been
Aw, here it is, darlin', here it is.
And when you're down there at the bottom
And you're lookin' out for a friend
Here I am, darling, here I am.
We've both grown tired
Of running after rainbows
Here we are, darling, here we are.
--- Instrumental ---
If it feels like you've been driftin'
And you don't know where you've been
Come on in, you can come on in.
And if all you've seen is back roads
That leads you out of town
Turn 'round, darling, turn 'round.
We've both grown tired
Of running from each other
Her we are, darling, here we are.
We've both grown tired
Of running after rainbows
Here we are, darling, here we are.
