4. If you have ever climbed a mountain, you know how exciting it
is to realize you are about to get on top of one of the world’s
roofs! Especially for the first time when you do not yet know
what to expect or how it is going to be like.
I can remember my first ascension to a mountain top well. It
happened about three years ago, when it was autumn, and
the weather in the mountains was gloomy. My friends offered
me to travel to the western Carpathian Mountains, and after a
short period of hesitation, I accepted their invitation. There was
nothing much to do for me at the time, so I thought a change
of surrounding would only be of use to me.
