Your friend is being extremely insensitive by trying to force you to do something that causes you great fear. Yes, it's thoughtful that she wants to push you out of your comfort zone, but threatening to end your friendship if you don't climb a mountain is going too far. It could be unsafe for you to do that without preparation and confidence. Tell her you love her, but you cannot go. If this is a deal-breaker for her, maybe she isn't really your friend.
I was thrilled when I got the news and couldn't wait to share it with the people closest to me. However, when I told my best friend about the job offer, her reaction was not what I expected. She has been struggling to find a job for quite some time, especially in this tough economy. I know how hard it's been for her; she's been applying everywhere, going to interviews and dealing with the stress and disappointment that come with job hunting.
