Fay Manners and her friend Michelle were climbing a big mountain called Chaukhamba. Their rope broke, and they lost all their important things like food and shelter. They were stuck on the mountain with no food and it was very cold. They sent a message for help, but it was hard for rescuers to find them. They were very brave and waited for help to come.

After two days, they tried to go down the mountain to find water. A helicopter couldn't find them because the weather was bad. Then, some French climbers found them and helped them with food and supplies. Fay was very thankful for the help and said it's important to be ready when climbing. She wants to help other women climb mountains safely and have fun.
