A Fall before Rising: The Story of Jai Jaikumar:
A Review of the Literature
Brief Summary the Story Ramchandran (Jai) Jaikumar had a passion for climbing mountains; he would head to his native India on a regular basis to pursue the love of climbing mountains. He would also spend four months per year as a climber and the reminder months as an engineer. Jaikumar was consider as an expert for climbing mountain because he was trained by expert mountaineers, so he knew what to do if he were happened to be in an bad situation. The crisis began on a summer day in 1966, Jaikumar, an engineering student of the Indian Institute of Technology along with his climbing buddy went mountain climbing in order to reach the summit of the Himalayan mountain. Their “turnaround time” was suppose to end at 1p.m, they admire the view and were proud of their effort, they delayed the time knowing that the light was soon to fade. They eventually began to head back to high camp around 4 p.m. As Jaikumar and his friend began climbing back down, they were to be in a dangerous journey back because it was getting darker. They had to soon begin to feel their way downward by tapping their ice picks to the surface before them because the wind had created a cornice, a slab of ice and snow. The cornice began to stretched out into the air on the rocks, Jaikumar and his friend wasn’t able to see the rocks beneath a cornice so that means they wasn’t able to estimate how far it extend or how much weight it can hold. Since both realize that were in danger, they decide to untie their ropes that connected them, so therefore one wouldn’t pull the other to his death. Eventually Jaikumar was in the lead after they split, as they both were climbing down, they heard an explosive sound. Both Jaikumar and his buddy had the instinct to jump to different sides of the mountain; it was a cornice that fell beneath them. As Jaikumar was tumbling down mountain, he got rid of all unnecessary gear, such as his ice axe
