We started our summit climb for Kedarkantha at 3am as a group. It was excruciating to climb peak after peak in -20°C amidst wild winds.
When I was only a few steps away from the summit, I looked around to find nobody I knew. Everyone from our team had either reached or was far behind. People who were climbing with me began sitting where they were. I just couldn’t climb anymore and the sight of people settling around was very tempting.
The sun was about to rise. I knew I would eventually summit but what I had dreamt of was to see the sunrise from the top, and hence began climbing again.
A very enjoyable read! Could identify with you on many levels 🙂
Thank you so much, I’m glad 🙂
Very well written Shreya!! Write more, about other things also, you have great ability to express your views in a lucid manner which makes the reader yearn for more.
