Now you have an actionable path on how to achieve your goal.

Initially I had the opinion that most people have, that they are jails.

Mathematical study and research are very suggestive of mountaineering. Whymper made several efforts before he climbed the Matterhorn in the 1860's and even then it cost the life of four of his party.
