Every fifteen meters or so you're assaulted and asked if you'd like a camel to go up. At one point I was playing "Camel Frogger" as I got caught up in a large pack that was going too slowly.
They allotted three hours. The first group got up at 1 hours, 7 minutes. I was there ~1 hour, 30. (Geesh, Cameron, slowing me down...) We had a lot of time before sunrise, but it was really nice to climb up on a comfy rock and stare at the stars.
The hike itself wasn't bad at all. Any easier and it would have been boring. Any harder and I might have broken a sweat...but the stairs at the top were not the easiest thing I've ever done.
We saw the sun come up and some friends and I shared an extremely unorthodox Communion of rolls from dinner and a can of Coke. Going down to see what you had hiked up, unable to make anything out, was really fun. As usual, I hated going down. The camels on the way down were so tempting...




Thank you for at least holding on to the sign--remember your Granna will be looking at these!!!

It was totally fine; I have no idea why the sign was there. In the grand scheme of the hike, that spot was not worthy of that sign...
ReplyDeleteWho's this posing some danger to the danger sign? I wonder!
