Story about space travelers in a world where time moves very fast

[jimliston]

I'm trying to remember a short story about space travelers in a world where time moves very fast
The higher up the mountain they climb time starts to slow down, but there isn't much room so the people above them are throwing rocks at them to keep them from coming up.
They end up running across a field to their ship before the sun comes out which would kill them. In the space ship the sounds of their hearts are very loud because time has reached a normal pace.
Ring any bells for anyone?
Thanks,
Jim

There was a series of stories in ANALOG magazine around 2005 with a similar world-- only I don't recall them ending up in a spaceship (but I'm about 5-1/2 years behind in my reading, so I may not have found that part yet!)

There is a thread in this book search forum on this story, but I don't remember what it was. You might try searching this section with some of the keywords to find that other thread. I have seen it in the past year.

You were right! I found it:
"Frost and Fire" by Ray Bradbury fron the "R is for Rocket"
Anthology. Story was copywrited 1946 in Planet Stories.

I found a copy on Amazon for my Kindle under the title:
"The Creatures that time forgot"

FROM PLANET STORIES: Mad! impossible world! Sun-blasted by
day, cold-wracked by night--and life condensed by radiation
into eight days! Sim eyed the Ship--if he only dared reach it
and escape! ... but it was more than half an hour distant--
perhaps the limit of life itself!
From the author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and
The Illustrated Man. Originally published in the Fall 1946
issue of Planet Stories. It was later reprinted under the title
Frost and Fire.

Great forum! Thanks for your help.
