Starting out again for the twenty first hour, everything still proceeded smoothly. Handholds were easy enough to find and the rack face was stable. When the hour was up, Hyede took another scheduled break before moving on.

Journeying into his twenty second hour on the second half of the mountain climb, Hyede maintained his measured pace as he scaled the stone cliff face. Again once the hour was up he stopped for a break and meal.

The twenty third hour went much like the others. There was a solid hour of climbing followed by Hyede’s scheduled meal and rest period.

With the arrival of the twenty fourth hour of climbing, Hyede made his next hour’s worth of ascent and then rested. Having been climbing for the accumulated equivalent of a full had on the side of the mountain, the young man was now beginning to feel the effects as his body started to grow tired from the continuous exertion.

Soldiering on though, Hyede started on the twenty fifth hour of his climb. When the hour was up, he again stopped for rest and another meal.

Moving into his twenty sixth hour, Hyede realized how much like the mines of Mercury this trek was getting to be. In both cases there was a clear goal to be achieved, and in both it could only be done so though the young man’s hard work and sheer determination.

Starting out again, Hyede continued up the mountain, scaling the rock face for the next hour. With the conclusion of the twenty eighth hour Hyede made his next scheduled stop to rest and eat.

The twenty ninth hour went the same way, a solid hour of climbing followed by another break to regain his energy.

The thirtieth hour however was while the same as the last few, special in the fact that it represented the half way point on this last leg of the climb and the three quarts mark on the other all climb. Stopping for a another scheduled rest and meal, Hyede looked out from his perch on the mountain and enjoyed the view.

Done with his break, Hyede returned to scaling the steep cliff face. Another hour passed and the young man’s watch again alerted him to the time. Stopping for his next scheduled break, Hyede took his next meal before continuing.

Hour thirty two repeated just like the others with the obvious exception of Hyede getting higher and higher up the mountain side. At the end of the hour, like clockwork, Hyede took his next break.

The next hour was like the last. Hyede climbed for the hour and then stopped to rest.

Hour thirty four was another clone of the previous hours. Hyede made another sixty minutes of strenuous climbing before he stopped for the next rest period.
