Last group picture we took was when we were already heading down the mountain. It was my first time to climb, and the struggles were real. We didn’t eat or drink a hot cup of coffee before heading to the foot of the mountain. We started walking at quarter to six. At first, it was an easy walk with not-so-steep paths, but later came the moderate and then the difficult phase of the trail. I was out of breath hours later, but thankfully, I survived. It was truly amazing to walk through a virgin forest—tall trees, exotic ferns and other flora, cute snakes and frogs we passed by, and even an iguana caught by our tour guide. These were just a few of what we saw during our 8 hours in the forest. The climb was hard, and so was the descent. The very steep paths, cliffs on both sides, thorny plants, and muddy soil made our walk difficult. But thanks to the guys, they helped us all the way down to the foot of the mountain. It was 2 PM when we arrived at the foot. We were all tired and thirsty. The experience was great—one of my most memorable firsts! Thank you to my best friend for convincing and accompanying me there. I love you. And most of all, thank You, Father God, for making my first climb a successful one. All glory and praise belong to You. Check out our video of climbing using the ladder on my Facebook. I apologize if you had to tilt your head to the left. |
