Mortenson was once again separated from his group while climbing the mountain, but he came in contact with his porter that was transporting Mortenson's things from the mountain for him, Mouzafar. Mouzafar is one of the tribal people from Balti. They are explained to be small people who are terrific at climbing, and with short tempers, but despite their temper, amazing and generous people. Despite these traits that are described, it is obvious that Mouzafar cares very much for Mortenson's safety, and we are also told that they staff friends throughout his journeys to Pakistan
After giving up on the climb Mortenson attempted to go to Mouzafar's village for shelter, but went in the wrong direction and ended up in a village called Akole. He is greeted by Haji Ali, the chief of the village. The people of the village treat Mortenson to luxury items of their tribe, offering him things that are so rare.
After arriving in the village they get into contact with Mouzafar, and he comes back to see Mortanson.While staying in th village, Haji Ali shows him their school, which is barely a school. This astonished Mortenson and he promised their village that he would go back to fund this school in America, so all the children could get an education.
