Writing Challenge

We looked really carefully at this picture Ben and Charlotte and I.
Together we brainstormed and shared our ideas to answer the questions.

Dangers: 
-  Rocks falling from above,
- The rock getting slippery when it gets wet and he falls
- Another  climber from above could fall and knock him off,
-  He could get water in his eyes

Problems :
-  Mike could be injured in the fall and be in need of rescue
-  The other climbers could be knocked out and Mike has to make a plan to keep to treat their injuries and get help
-  Another climber could be injured in the fall and they have to make a plan to get help
-  He could get hypothermia and become so cold he is frozen  to the side of the mountain

How could we fix the problems?

Charlotte thought....
- The other climbers could use their first aid kits to patch up Mike and call for help on their
 cellphones. They may even need to send two people out together to seek help if the phone was smashed in the fall.

Ben thought ......
- Mike would need to use all of his skills as a former ambulance driver to help patch up his fellow climbers and repair the broken tracking device. They would need the device to alert help at the local mountain climbers office as there is no way a cell phone would work here. They needed reinforcements to help carry two of the climbers out as one had a broken leg in two places and the other had a serious injury to the head.........

 I thought ....
- Mike could sense the weather was changing. Big black clouds were gathering and the wind was shifting to the south. A  southerly was coming their way. The temperature in these mountains could drop really suddenly. The injured climbers were not going to be able to make enough heat to keep their bodies warm enough on their own. Their energy levels were dropping their bodies had taken a hammering in the fall. Mike needed to get to the first aid packs and find the survival blankets. They would also need food to fuel their bodies.

Ending  
Just For mine
Mike would found the first aid kits there were blankets but no food. H e remembered he ate the emergency snacks out of the pack last week on his way home from Mt Cook.  Not only that he had not replaced them.  A rookie mistake. He could hear his dad growling at him in his head. He remembered him saying you must always check your supplies before you go climbing and tramping. Never mind Mike was a seasoned climber he could fix this. Joey had by far the worst injuries. Between Max and Mike they could make a triangle stretcher from the smaller but solid branches lying on the forest floor around them on the ground.  They could fasten the edges with the vines hanging around them. They could drag Joey out in a reasonably comfortable way to where they could get a signal to call for help.  ...but .......
Sadly I will have to keep writing more of my story later...

I wonder how you would answer the questions from the picture?    
Did you spot anything interesting we missed?  
Does you imagination have your story travelling in a completely different direction ours?

I challenge all of the children in Ruru to have a go. Answer the questions for yourself. I would love to read your answers and see where you story takes you ?
I am especially interested in the endings that you come up with.....
