The mountain of High Hrothgar had stood proudly for thousands of years, casting a solemn shadow for miles around.

Few dared to venture close to its base, let alone scale its heights, fearing what awaited at the summit. For one brave adventurer, the folk lore surrounding the mysteries of High Hrothgar provided an opportunity just too tempting to resist. Some called him courageous, others foolish, but it mattered not to him now.

Bracing himself against the torrent of icy wind that rushed towards him down the narrow pass, the lone figure prepared himself for the challenge ahead. He took a deep breath, feeling the frozen air rush into his lungs, and took a bold step onto the path to High Hrothgar…

Sentence challenge!

Can you use your senses to describe the mountain pass to High Hrothgar?

What can you see/hear/smell/feel/taste?

Think about the following things:

the path wind trees

snow ice cloud

fog the summit voices

stone air fear

danger skin face

Remember to use METAPHORS, SIMILES and PERSONIFICATION.
