Introduction:

Hi there, I am writing this story of the biggest event in my life *which I consider* and to share it with you all. Well life as an Alpinist is always full of adventure and fun. You get to see the world from new highest man!

Well let me introduce myself, I am Peter Clifton, not an average looking 26 years old guy. Well I am pretty much 6’5” tall and weigh about 190 pounds. I usually don’t go to gym as most of my muscles are build due to climbing but when I am not climbing any peak I spend some time in gym. Well my body is not over muscular but pretty much decent amount of muscle *what you can expect when you lift 80 pound sand bag in gym, not much*.

As I already said I am an Alpinist and most of my time is spend in climbing. I just love mountains and the feel you get after climbing the peak of the mountain is indescribable. Well I have pretty much stories to tell but this particular story is something different, absolutely inconceivable for me which changed my life forever…

It all started about a few month ago, I have just returned with my team *as I work for Unoix which is private tour agency* from Mount Logan in Canada to my hometown Seattle. My family and friends were there to greet me at airport. It is really wonderful to reunite with your family and friends. All the way to home they just kept me asking about my experience on field. It is really great when you share your experience to someone.

I was just enjoying my time with my friends as I get hardly few days after a tour. I was not expecting a call from my company telling me that I and my team are assigned for a new trip. He said we are assigned take University Students to Mt. Kangchenjunga which is third highest mountain in world and first highest for me. He told other experienced teams were already assigned and only my team was free at this time being so we were to be assigned for it. I was already at ninth cloud as it was really one time assignment. You don’t get to go some highest peak and get paid for it…

Chapter 1

I was to take plain from Seattle to India as our base was near Darjeeling. I met with my team mates who were already there with students. I noticed there were total of five students amongst whom two were girls and three were boys and there sir. The first boy whom they called Jay was pretty tall approx. 5’8” or something, with dirty-blond hair and pretty much build body * but nowhere near to mine*. Other one was Harry who was bit small in height compared to Jay but not very much you can notice, he was also pretty build like Jay and had pitch black hair. The other one was bit shy but he was maybe 5’6” and light brown haired. Their teacher was Mr Richard Coks, who was well maybe around 45-50 years old having brownish red hairs and about 6 feet tall.

Amongst the two girls, one was called Cindy. She was 5’2” tall with athletic build having Ash blond hair. She had medium size breasts maybe around 34B or something. The other girl was Ava. She was 5’5” tall also having athletic build having Platinum Blond hairs. She was having noticeable firm breast of size 36C approx. She was the only one whose face looked cute, for me at least. She had actually looked at me and smiled at me.

We all decided we will start out hiking early in morning, as it will give enough time for us to cover more distance before weather gets worst, and setup a camp in midway. We decided to climb till 1300 meters height for first camp if possible and from there to next 1600 meter height to set our second camp site which was pretty high. Third Camp was at 1750 meter and fourth was at 1850 meters further. Our last Camp will be at 1000 meter and from there we will return. It was all set. We had GPS to track our location so that we will not get lost *as it is the major danger while climbing mountains*. Though we were thinking it like that, it can possible never go like that.

We began out hike early at 5 a.m. to our first camp site. Mike was leading our team with Billy as they were well more experienced than us. All the students were in the middle and I and Carl were at the end so that students should not get lost. We were walking in the formation of line as a single cable was connected from Mike to Carl and everyone else was in between. The starting of our journey was noisy, noisy in the sense everyone chit-chatting and laughing. The shy boy back down there, whose name was Carter, was also involved in chatting.

We made it to our first destination at 1300 meters well before 3 in noon and decided to camp as weather was starting to get worst. There was not much happen at night as we all were deadly tired and sleep over took us instantly. Mike woke us all. It was well 5:30 and the visibility was still not as clear as day. So we decided to pack our things first and proceed with our work as first ray of sun is visible. It was around 6:45 a.m. when we started our journey again. This time also Mike and Billy were leading us and I and Carl were at the back. But this time the girls had come at end as first they were in middle of boys and their teacher. Ava was somewhat shy type girl as not much talking but Cindy was unbearable. She even tried to flirt with me.

We were at our destination which was 1600 meters approx., from our first camp site. The storm was getting stronger but it was bearable. Like the last night it was quit and nothing much happen. Though I was tired, I was not feeling sleepy but feeling something was wrong. I pushed that thought aside and surrendered myself to sleep.

Next morning, the storm was still going on but its intensity had increased a bit. We decided to stick as close to each other as possible.
