A fter months of computer screens and keyboards, Alicia, her younger brother Rob, and their friend Amir could almost smell the pine-fueled mountain air of Yosemite National Park. The three climbers were driving over from San Francisco, their car filled with music, chatter, and jokes. The team of climbers was set to ascend Cathedral Peak the next day, a 10,587-foot mountain named for its granite versions of a sanctuary, turrets, pinnacles, and a spire. Free from final exams at last, they were already charged with spirited emotionscamaraderie, excitement, and anticipation. Alicia, six years older and a seasoned climber, was practically buzzing with confidence and passion, and this rubbed off on Rob and Amir, who were each less experienced than she was.

Getting out of the bay area took hours, so they stopped to treat themselves to burgers at Rush Creek Lodge. Stopping for dinner broke up the drive and made it so they wouldnt need to cook as they arrived at dusk and pitched their tents. During dinner, Alicia told stories of previous successful climbs in Yosemite.

In step with the plan this team had spent months putting together, they woke up at four in the morning and unzipped their tents only to find that Amirs pack had no food in it. As Amir had rushed to leave his apartment, hed left the bear canisters he packed sitting on the counter. Being the most inexperienced climber, he had spent quite a bit of time preparing and packing their meals. It was his main contribution to the plan. Of course, the team could go get more food, but this hitch in their plan was inconvenient and subtly changed the tone of their climb from smooth sailing to bumpier waters. A slight sense of pressure and discouragement filled in.
