A+Rock+and+a+Hard+Place+I

As I was telling you, I went through a terrible experience on my last excursion to K2 Mountain. The fact was that, unfortunately, Pepe and I found the dead body of a great companion, Alison Hargreaves. It was dreadful. You won't believe it but she had tried to climb the K2 twice and failed because of the awful weather so she decided to go home to see her children -she missed them a lot-. Almost fifteen minutes before leaving the camp she decided to give the K2 a second chance. I think she was in good spirits and definitely she was, because she and the group could finally reach the top. They were descending when a very violent thunderstorm struck the area making them fall down.Luckily, Pepe and I were safe in the camp. The following day while we were on our way back, we saw a scratched reddish anorak lying on the snow and we assumed that Alison's rope snapped causing her to plummet several hundred feet down the mountain. It was really heartbreaking. At that moment we thought of her family, her children, it was terrible. But then I thought that at least she achieved her goal and succeeded.
