Glacier Point – The Endurance of the Bighorn Sheep 

The legend of Glacier Point House is a tale of resilience, patience, and the quiet strength of those  who never give up. 

Long ago, the valley was ruled by shifting glaciers—massive, unstoppable forces that carved the land  itself. Most creatures fled, fearing the ice. But one remained: the Bighorn Sheep. 

Where others saw impossible cliffs, the Sheep saw a path. Where others were trapped by the ice, the  Sheep climbed higher. It did not rush, nor did it falter. Step by step, inch by inch, it climbed until it  reached the peak overlooking the glaciers where no other had dared go. 

When the ice finally receded, the Sheep stood victorious, demonstrating that the key to success is not  in brute force or charged approaches, but in endurance and heart. 

Those in Glacier Point House embody the Bighorn Sheep’s strength, resilience, and unwavering  determination to overcome life’s greatest challenges. They thrive on their ability to conquer the  steepest peaks through their balance, focus, and tireless commitment to achieving their goals.  

Members of Glacier Point House are characterized by their steadiness and persistence. They are not  easily discouraged by setbacks as they understand that true success comes from enduring hardships  with grace and grit. They live by the motto "Fortitudine vincimus" ("By endurance, we conquer"),  embodying a mindset that values hard work, patience, and the courage to keep moving forward no  matter the odds. 

What sets Glacier Point apart is the unshakable bond between its members. Just as bighorn sheep work  together to navigate rugged terrain, Glacier Point House members foster a strong sense of community  and mutual support, where every individual contributes to the strength of the whole. This House values 

heart as much as endurance, encouraging its members to face every challenge with both  determination and compassion. 

Whether scaling metaphorical mountains or weathering life's storms, Glacier Point House stands firm,  proving that resilience and fortitude are the keys to achieving greatness.  

Although members of this house are known for their resilience, steadiness, persistence, and strong  heart, some individuals may have characteristics that can negatively affect them particularly when they  are stressed or under pressure as noted below:

Slow to adapt – Prefers what’s familiar and may resist new ideas or methods.
