Climb

-Forward!
The rock expanse seemed to never end.
We had to move forward. The camp was still several kilometers away.
A gust of wind had us cover our eyes with our arms.
-It's been four hours since we started walking, we need to rest!
-Not here, let's move forward until we find a more covered spot.
My companions were tired, with barely any strength to move. The sun made walking hard, we almost finished the water with us.
I started doubting myself. Maybe we shouldn't have done this hike.
I stumbled, one of the others caught me before I could fall.
-Let's move forward, together we can make it.
