A Mountain Just Begging To Be Climbed

Guys, I am sitting in an internet shop, have wifi and am so gleeful, I am can even block out the horrible music squeaking through the speakers. :)

This is the mountain seen in about 80% of our photos. :) Despite it being rainy season, when Chad was here, Jon used it as motivation to hike this mountain. They talked Feysil into going too.

Christen was going to go but wasn’t feeling great so she stayed back. After we heard about the hike, we were both glad we stayed back. They had to scale large areas. One spot they guessed was 50 feet.

If I would have been there, my fun mantra may have stopped things. “GUYS, WE HAVE NO EMERGENCY ROOM”.

When they got to the top, they called us but we couldn’t see them. I asked how it was. Jon responded, “Umm. Insane"

As all three of the men knew they could be seriously injured, this group of shepherd kids joined them, like it was no big deal.

Scaling, up, up, up

The walking sticks were a must on the way up. (I am heavily featuring you, Chad, because you hardly ever are on the blog. ;))

Can you believe this?  Yeah, me neither.

The men were thankful for the shepherd kids on the way back, who guided them. All three resorted to sliding down on the slippery grass. The kids took their walking sticks, they couldn’t believe how slow Jon, Chad and Feysil were.

That is where they climbed. They did it. If you come during dry season, I am sure you can talk Jon and Feysil into doing it. Feysil said he will never do it during rainy season again. :)
