The name

Where the name comes from.

Varde
Old Norse

The cairn — stones stacked to mark the route where the trail goes quiet. And the beacon — the fire lit at the summit to guide the way.

Col
Alpine

The pass — the one low saddle where a ridge lets you cross. Where a cairn gets built, because that's where you can lose the way.

Reads as · vertical

Fused, the roots sound like vertical — the direction every growing company is headed. The mark, the pass, and the way up.
