Spending 24 Hours On Top Of A Mountain

What to study

Stakes & Tension

  • The title sets the rule, a full day and night up there.
  • The photo shows what up there means, bare rock above the clouds.
  • Together they start the questions only the video answers, how do you sleep, what about the cold.
How the packaging works
Title

The title states the challenge and its time limit.

Thumbnail
