An old man clothed only in a loin cloth is rolling a boulder up a mountain. There is an attractive blonde woman in a black cocktail dress sitting at a bar counter with a glass of wine.
Men typically don't roll boulders larger than themselves up a mountain. There usually aren't bar counters on the side of mountains, and people who go hiking tend to be dressed appropriately for it, not in evening wear.  This appears to be a take on the legend of Sisyphus.
Who is the women having a glass of wine on the mountain? Will Sisyphus ever find release from his turmoil?
Do you struggle endlessly through here often?

"Do you come here often" is a common conversation starter at bars (where the woman is). Sisyphus would be unlikely to encounter such a woman, yet, she is trying to start a romantic conversation with him by adjusting the conversation stater to his eternally damned situation.
