Great Expectations

​Four friends decided to go on a road trip.

Their destination of interest was the beautiful and vast terrains of the western United States.

After a week of thrills and seeing the sites, it came up to try one more thing before the end.

There was a mountain, more infamous perhaps for its danger than its beauty, yet its majesty had a certain attractiveness that went far beyond your typical postcard scene.

An off-road drive that was quite perilous in itself finally got them to their destination.

They were to set off at first light the next morning, but that left a long night until then.

As the darkness fell over the foothills, their excitement raised along with their dread:

Which one would win out?

The only thing left to do…

...was climb.
