1) Fade in from white to an Establishing Shot of mountainscape during snow storm. A grapple hook appears centre frame from the other side of the cliff.
2) Mid shot of icicles in the foreground hanging off edge of cliff. There are two ropes in the right third of the screen tugging in opposite directions as if to imply weight is being put on it.
3) Long shot of a man ascending a mountainside. The framing puts into perspective the scale of the mountain compared to the size of the climber.
4) Close up shot of climber as he climbs up onto ledge. Hands in the foreground, with the face slowly rising up into centre frame while the storm rages on in the background.
5) Extreme close up of rope being strained, to demonstrate tension in the scene. The snowstorm in the background also begins to intensify, mirroring the tension being put on the rope, an example of pathetic fallacy.
6) Extreme close up of icicle breaking, to parallel the snapping of the rope.
7) Extreme close up reaction shot of the mountain climber as he realises his fate. (Eyes open, Dolly zoom.)
8) POV Shot of mountain climber falling. Holds hands out as he looks up at cliff, just short of the summit. Cut to black upon impact with ground.
9) Fade in from black to long shot of silhouetted man at the top of the mountain.
10) Mid Shot of mountain climber looking down off edge of cliff, proud of his achievement.
11) Cut back to POV angle from before, this time with mountain climber looking down. He then turns around and disappears into the blizzard as if he was a hallucination, implying that the climber didn't actually make it to the top of the mountain.
