Write a story in 150-200 words based on the input given below:

They started a trek to the peak of the mountain—supposed to be a very hard journey—a five-day long trek—when—they started……..

Rustam and Farhad had been on many mountain expeditions but the one they were about to do was a five-day long trek to the peak of the mountain. When they started, the weather started to get worse and it seemed that the already treacherous terrain would be even more dangerous with snow and cold winds. For four days they managed to climb a bit higher and make some progress, but they had to take shelter on the fifth day as a snowstorm made any further progress impossible. However, they weather cleared up the next day and both of them managed to reach the peak of the mountain, having survived bitterly cold winds, snowstorms, sheer rock faces and adverse conditions. The view from the peak was worth the troubles, as they rejoiced under the clear blue sky and the snowy hills around them.
