The next day he  26  his way upward(向上). He was so lonely and so  27 ！But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the  28  light.

In the morning, Bonatti  29  up. He could not see the top，but he knew he was 30 there. Though the climb was painful，he moved up.

Bonatti had spent months  31  for the climb. Was the training enough?  Did he have the strength and  32  to climb to the top?
