Ang Dorjee was going to climb without oxygen. But because of this, his feet would get very cold. He thus wanted to avoid long exposure at heights and a night at the Summit Camp.He had therefore to either get to the peak and back to the South Col the same day or abandon the attempt. He was keen to start immediately and asked if I would like to go with him.Going to the top from the South Col and back in a day would be strenuous (full of activity which need lot of energy and effort) and tough and there was the risk of Ang Dorjee turning back if his feet got too cold.I however, had full confidence in Ang Dorjee as well as in my stamina and climbing capability. Besides no one else was ready to move at that time.(1) Why did Ang Dorjee want to avoid long exposure at heights?(2) Why had Ang Dorjee to come back to the South Col the same day?(3) What was the problem in going to the top from the South Col and back in a day?(4) Did they still decide to climb on ? Why ?(5) Pick out from the ‘ text the words that are similar in meanings to:(i) leave(ii) strength to sustain |
