【题目】stop wasting your time on the wrong mountain

I have two friends who are backpackers. There is a portion of New York’s Adirondack Mountains called the High Peaks region. It is made up of 46 mountains with a____of over 4,000 feet.

The Adirondack Mountain Club gives special honor and a patch to __ who climbs all 46 mountains. My two friends decided to go for this _. It took them several years to accomplish it.

My friends had climbed 45 of the mountains. The left one was the farthest, much effort. A hiking trail led past the base of the mountain, from that point they were on their own.

Early one morning they left their and walked 5 miles on the hiking trail to the base of a of mountains. One of the mountains in this chain was the last one they _ for their patch.

When they reached the base of the mountain chain they that they had left their compass and map back in the camp. returning to the camp, they decided to go on without them.

For hours they uphill suffering heat and black flies. Finally, late in the afternoon, they themselves on the top of a mountain. They were tired but .

The excitement was short-lived however. When they the valley, they saw another higher mountain. They had climbed the hill! It was too late that weekend to correct their . They had to wait another 4 months to climb the right mountain.
