Adventures in the Mountains

I really adore mountain climbing and my friends do too. You need "do" here; otherwise it means that you adore your friends, not that your friends also adore mountain climbing. Usually, we choose August or September to go to the mountains, mostly due to the suitable weather then. You could also say something like "We usually go climbing in August or September because the weather is perfect/suitable for it then." This time you can just say "climbing" since people know you mean 'mountain climbing.' This story happened at the end of September in 2007. We were on this particular  mountain for the first time, so we had no idea how to get to its peak. I changed it to "its peak" so "mountain" isn't repeated so much. You could also say, "Since this was our first time on this particular mountain, we had no idea how to get to its peak." We had been climbing for 4 hours, before we arrived at a quite bizarre place which frightened us. Our situation probably wouldn't have occurred, if we we had chosen another way (to the peak). First of all, a slope of the mountain was covered by huge stones, which began to move or "began moving" as soon as we touched them. Secondly, we were already extremely tired and it suddenly began to blizzard. We lay down The verb is actually "to lie down", not "to lay down" like Americans always incorrectly say. Its past tense is "lay down". See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lie_down#Verb on the stones, and strongly held onto them. The snow was blowing up from below with unimaginable speed, and all during this time, the stones were moving downward. Fortunately, our adventure ended without anyone getting injured! :)
