M: Where are you going for Christmas this year?

W: This year Dennis and I are thinking about going on an extreme mountain-climb to the world’s second highest mountain. It’s located in Pakistan.

M: Wow, extreme mountain-climbing? That can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. You know that sometimes the temperatures can be up to 50 degrees below freezing with winds up to 60 miles per hour. Also the ice can crack and break under your feet at any time.

W: Well, I’ve been looking at some information about mountain-climbing in my extreme sports magazines; I think it’s something that we would both like to try.

M: Certainly learning as much as you can will help you to have a safe and fun trip. When I was young I used to go on long hiking expeditions because I was a professional photographer. I would just make sure that you bring someone with you who knows the mountain very well.

W: We are planning on bringing a guide with us. We also have a professional trainer that has helped us train this year. Now all we need is the plane tickets and we are ready to go!
