I had looked forward to this day for a long time.Finally I, Kirsty Sturart, would stand on the top of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe.Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps.My companions—Jean Pierre Barton, Mauricautier, and Mary Sargent—and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning.As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow.We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop.After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day.We started down the mountain in the thick snow.Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them.As he was returning to us, he started to fall.
His fall started an avalanche and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me.“Are you OK?” he asked“I think I broke my leg,” I answered.“I’d better radio for help!” he said.“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere.
Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away.It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter. The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, tw dogs, and a stretcher(担架).One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others.The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig in the snow.
