Lara let out a gasp as she reached up for the next finger hold. She could feel the sun on her shoulders; only halfway up the climb and her skin was slick with sweat.
She could taste the saltiness of her own sweat as it dripped down onto her lips, making the dust that escaped from the rock stick to her face like a mask. Another grunt escaped from Lara’s mouth as she strained her muscles once again, preparing for another lunge towards the top, and victory.
Despite the pain, Lara loved climbing, but she had never climbed anything as steep as this before…This was the hardest mountain lara has ever climbed before. As Lara gasps for air, here we go as she takes a big lunge. Lara is nearly there. She is over half way. keep going she said to herself in her head i can do this.
