Ghar

Friday is low battle rhythm day. We don't have to be in until after lunch. So much of the directorate hiked up Mt. Ghar this morning. Mt. Ghar is located at KMTC. It's the hill that the firing ranges are up against. They don't run the ranges on Friday.



It took about an hour-fifteen to get to the top. It was pretty steep in many places. The trail would be off-limits to causal hikers in America. I was tired from the beginning. Of course I don't work out so I've gotten a bit out of shape. It was a great hike though. Climbing was easier near the top. Perhaps because it was so steep I had to move slow. Here I am enjoying the view at the top:



Here we are leaving. That ridge is even worse than it looks. One side is a drop-off and the ridge itself doesn't have may footholds. This is the part where you don't want to look down.



We stopped at Camp Phoenix on the way back for lunch. We also checked out their bazaar. It was huge. Much bigger than Eggers' bazaar.

We made it back to Eggers right on time, at 1300.
