Lesson of the Week
Week #10 Vinson Massif – Antarctic GiantRead the excerpt from The Adversity Advantage found in the Mt. Vinson map page and see the accompanying photo gallery to study Erik’s Mt. Vinson climb. Now, write a short story with yourself as the hero ascending Mt. Vinson. Be sure to describe the hurdles you faced along the way, your icy surroundings, and the feel of the summit. Here’s the catch: in your story, avoid any visual language. Only use your four other senses.
