Everest as seen from Camp 4. I turned around near the
red dot. Can you find it? |
I climbed higher and higher that night. After 3 hours I
felt very sick. My stomach hurt and it was hard to breathe. I thought about why
I was climbing Everest and my family. I really wanted to stand on the top. I
knew I had done my best and if I went higher then I would be in trouble and
might even put my teammates in danger if they had to help me. So I turned
around and went back to the Camp. It was the right thing to do. |
