Danger on the mountain<br />

How could something that started out so well have<br />

changed so quickly?<br />

When Caleb and his dad had left home<br />

to spend the weekend climbing Mount<br />

Reid, it had been a beautifully still<br />

spring day. <strong>The</strong>y had both felt<br />

great as they walked along<br />

munching muesli bars. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

hardly noticed the heavy packs<br />

they carried on their backs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir plan was to spend the night<br />

in the climbers’ hut near the top,<br />

where there were no phones and no<br />

people. <strong>The</strong>y would climb up to the<br />

summit in the morning before making<br />

their way back down again.<br />

During the afternoon, it became quite<br />

dark and the wind was stronger and<br />

very cold. <strong>The</strong>y put on extra clothes and<br />

trudged on. It was getting harder and<br />

harder to move against the wind. <strong>The</strong>n the<br />

rain started and it stopped being fun.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ground was wet and very slippery. Dad slid<br />

across some rocks, twisted his foot and fell. He just sat there, holding<br />

his leg and moaning.<br />

Caleb realised Dad couldn’t get up to the hut or get back down<br />

again. It was dark and they were both cold, wet and miserable. This<br />

just shouldn’t be happening at this time of year. What could he do?<br />

He couldn’t leave his dad and if he did, he might get lost. All he could<br />

do was try to keep Dad as warm, dry and comfortable as he could.<br />

He dragged open their packs. He was sure it was going to be the<br />

longest night of his life!<br />
