Caky sex differs 2. ice and snow. This contains rich precipitation, firn of all the year round on the summit, and because be located in low latitude, fine when sunshine is very intense also, and often warm by be heated belt wind is swayed, because of the ice and snow here at any time likelihood disintegrate, collapse, and on snow mountain extremely flabby decided air current causes an avalanche particularly easily also.

It is too difficult to because this thinks again,ascend this hill.
