Resuming his climb for the thirty fifth hour, Hyede made another hour of progress up the mountain. Finding the climb to be increasingly difficult, Hyede was worried he may have miscalculated. However he had planned for two extra ration allotments so for now he stuck to the schedule and too his planned break.

Hour thirty six was just as strenuous as the thirty fifth as Hyede continued to make his way up the mountain. His skin though coated in sweat, didn’t radiate away enough heat to keep him comfortable any more. Stopping for his next rest period, Hyede took some extra time to lay down in a crevasse for a while.

The extra rest did Hyede well and he started his thirty seventh hour a bit more fresh then the previous two. On schedule he stopped for his next break and meal.

Hour thirty eight went smoothly, though like the past few, it was starting to become quite strenuous. When the hour was up, Hyede took his meal and rest.

Starting out again, Hyede climbed for the entirety of the thirty ninth hour of the climb. The young man was starting to feel more and more fatigued with every cycle. However he was determined not to screw up and adhered to his schedule.

The fortieth hour was another landmark for the young man however, it was the hour he made his first mistake. Growing increasingly fatigued, Hyede missed a handhold. The young man, slipped and fell a good fifty feet, slamming chest first into a spire of stone, an impact that would have killed any other normal person.

Screaming in pain, Hyede coughed out a mouth full of spit stained with blood. Hyede could feel his innards burning as he rolled off the pillar of storm and clung to the rock face of the mountain. Knowing he wouldn’t survive long though without keeping his strength up, Hyede tried to take another meal.

Trying to get back on schedule, Hyede started up the mountain again. He’d lost an hour from his fall and knew he couldn’t stop now otherwise he’d die on the side of the mountain. Stopping to take he scheduled rest ad meal, Hyede could feel some of his strength returning.

Going into his forty third hour, Hyede’s chest and innards started to feel a little better. Taking extra care now as he climbed, Hyede made no more mistakes as he bypassed the handhold he’d missed and continued up the mountain until his next planned stop.

Advancing again, Hyede continued up the mountain. While he had lost time, he knew he should not hurry to make it up. Hurrying would further exhaust him and that was the last thing he needed. On schedule he took his next break and meal.

With the forty third hour, Hyede maintained his careful ascent up the mountain. An hour later the young man’s watch alerted him to another break period and he stopped for the meal.

Forty four came and went much the same was forty three did. Hyede climbed carefully for an hour and then took his next break and meal.

The forty sixth hour brought Hyede that much closer to the summit. At the end of the hour, Hyede took his next stop and ate.

Starting out again, Hyede made another hour’s worth of progress up the mountain and arrived an a ledge suitable for him to rest properly on. Taking his next meal, Hyede then laid down for a nap to try and fully restore himself.
