LEGEND OR TRUTH?

The Black Climber

Few stories 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....

One day, many years ago, a group of five climbers 1) decided to go hiking in the Tien-Shan mountains. The brave men 2) were climbing up the steep slopes, when a voice screamed out in pain.

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,abandoned him. Now, the spirit of the Black Climber is still on the mountain ... watching and waiting. This terifying legend has lived on ever since and people have been telling the tale for decades. So, when the winds howl in the cold night air, step on Tien-Shan mountain if you dare....
