On a narrow ledge, he finds a younger goat frozen with fear. The quickest path continues upward, but Pita anchors the rope beside her.

Inside a cold cloud, they cannot see the trail. Pita asks his new partner to listen for the bell at the peak, and she leads by sound.

The two goats stand together beside the summit bell above a golden valley.
