Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'.

Siempre que subo estoy seguido de un perro llamado 'Ego'.

Espero que el sol esté saliendo y no escondiendose. Es peligroso escalar en la noche

My original: Espero el sol es creciente y no va abajo, es peligroso para subiendo en la noche

. I hope the sun is rising and not going down, it's dangerous climbing at night.

Thanks to the sun, I managed to climb to the top. As you can see it pushed me a bit and I needed it.

When I reached the summit, I discovered that the rest of my party was already there because they had the perseverance to find the elevator.
