Riding High Explanation: Unless I don't understand the pun correctly, I would say that it's rather cheesy to begin with, so if I were you, I'd feel free to come up with whatever headline works. "Riding High" seems like a neat solution to me. If that's not cheesy enough, you might play with these ideas (I don't really like them, but you might): The Wheel to Climb (wheel/will ... get it? get it???) Ain't No Mountain High Enough Peak Performance Magic Mountain Train |

The irrisistible draw of the mountain Explanation: Drawn to the mountain - not well versed in engineering, but isn't a cog train drawn? Maybe this would work, or "drawn up the mountain by an irresistible force" |

Gearing up for the climb Explanation: Or gearing up for the mountain. I dunno, maybe I translate these things too freely. Again, I prefer the approach of double-entendre, but not necessarily sticking too close to the original. |
