1One morning two young men went climbing up the mountain. 2 It was a sunny day. 3They had ropes, all the climbing equipment and strong shoes. 4They had been climbing for five hours and at last they reached the top of the mountain at one o'clock in the afternoon. 5They were taking photos when the weather suddenly
changed and it  began to snow. 6The young men started climbing down again. 7It was very difficult because they could not see anything around them. 8So they decided to stop and put up a tent. 9They had a mobile phone, and they rang for help. 10They had been waiting for many hours and got absolutely cold. 11 At last they heard the sound of a helicopter. 12The helicopter  found their tent and rescued them.
The two alpinists were safe!
