The Climb

A short walk, no problem.

...taken six hours later.
...down the road, through some rolling fields, up the mountain. All the way up.
Shirt so soaked with sweat it looked like I just took a bath. Guide barely
breathing heavy. Down the mountain. Panther tracks. Don't care ...too hot.
Too out of breath. We'll be there and back by noon. Back up the other side
...didn't get there till 1:00 PM. ...More steps. Holy Crap. Lots of steps. More steps.
The top. ...where Brahma "emerged" onto the earth. Pretty cool. Sort of like an "eagles nest"
in a crack in the rocks way above the valley floor. Still soaked. Guide looks fresh
and rested. Need a smoke. Back down. Call driver... The Scotsman warned me the day before,
should have listened, glad I didn't.
