3.34 Lesson 8C, Exercise 6
1
The men started their climb in December, when the days are
short. Each day, they started their climbing day at 3 p.m.,
just two hours before the sun went down.
2
They climbed every
day for about seven hours, using head-
torches to see where they were going. Then at midnight they
stopped climbing, set up their tent and went to sleep.
3
They woke up at 10 a.m. and had breakfast. Every day the
climbers took photos and made
videos on their phones, and
posted them on social media websites.
4
The climbers used ropes, of course, but the ropes didn’t
help them to climb. The ropes were only there to keep them
safe and stop them from falling off the rock face.
