Description

A good story about a man who believes himself slowly dying who decides to go in style...by climbing a reverse slope on a mountain made of ice!

A man thinks he's dying slowly, so he chooses to go out with class by climbing up the back side of a mountain made entirely of ice! This story was heard before on the radio show "Escape" on April 4, 1948 and again on July 21, 1949.

Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness. In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict, particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy. However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
