On the 15-th of October, two men  tried to get to the top of Everest. They   made their camp at the bottom of the mountain. They  felt very well in it. It was the highest camp on the mountain. The night before the climb, they  drank tea and had supper. They  discussed what to take with them to the top. They  decided to leave their sleeping bags and tents behind because the equipment  was too heavy. Early in the morning they  had breakfast and got dressed. Then they  started to go up the mountain. It  was extremely difficult. The snow  was very deep. After a long, hard fight they reached the top together. They  laughed, shouted and  took some photographs. Then the sun  disappeared and the two men realised they  were on the top of Everest and it  was almost night. Their camp  was too far to reach. They  went a little way down the mountain, but there  was  no moon and it  was too dangerous. They had to spend the night on the mountain, at about 10,000 metres, with no tent, sleeping bags or food. They  believed it  was possible. They  dug a hole in the snow, and  buried themselves. They  did not sleep. It  was -30 °C. When the light  came at last they began climbing down, and soon they  got to their camp. Everybody  was happy.
