Few stones strike fear into the hearts of the bravest mountaineers; one of them is the mysterious tale of the Black Climber of the Tien-Shan Mountains.

Immediately the leader 3) stopped and checked on his friends to see if they were OK. "There are only four of us! Where is our friend?" Sadly, the last climber 4) had twisted his ankle and fallen before they could help. The man's body 5) was hanging from the rocks while the climbers were struggling to reach him. Tired and exhausted, the group 6) had been trying for an hour to get to their friend before they agreed to give up. The spirit of the man was furious that the climbers 7) had abandoned him. Now, the spirit of the Black Climber is still on the mountain watching and waiting. This terrifying legend has lived on ever since and people have been telling the tale for decades.
