EVEREST

// 04.02.2024

Less than three years had passed since visiting the Top of the World, when out of nowhere came the desire and inspiration to capture the memory of the Top in a bizarre STEAMPUNK style.

The integral and key Hero of the miniature is the constant companion in life and the talisman of the ascent of the Squirrel Skret from "Ice Age". She has already passed the cracks of the deadly Khumbu glacier (altitude 6000 m) with ladders and railings (left side of the miniature). She passed the so-called Balcony (altitude 8400 m), where dozens of used oxygen cylinders are left (right side of the miniature). Here, on the Balcony, the real story of the forced cessation of the ascent and return to the assault camp (altitude 7900 m) to replace the empty, for unknown reasons, cylinders with full ones happened.

However, this did not break Scrat.

A second assault and Squirrel is one step closer to the Summit (altitude 8848 m). Her claws grip the rock tightly, her ice axe is securely stuck into the Mountain, her flashlight illuminates the Stone on the Summit (a real Stone from the Mountain), and the Moon sheds light on her path!

We must go, because the silent witnesses, the climbers who remained on the Mountain forever, tell us that we cannot give up, there will be no other chance, and euphoria and the Life Prize* await the Hero at the Top of the World, as a reward for all his efforts!!!

EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN EVEREST!!!

* The Life Prize (hereinafter referred to as the Prize) will often be present in future miniatures, as an integral element, as a reward for the Hero's perseverance and indomitability.
