First full day of camp today and finally got a chance during free time to climb the mount.
It was a great hike. Lotsa uphill of course but fun and definetly not a cakewalk. There was lots of cow poop everywhere. Apparently the maasai who are a nomad cow herding tribe take them up the mountain. Don't ask me how i dind't think cows were that nimble but they do.
Man o man the view at the top was incredible. We climbed onto this rock jutting off the mountain and could see for miles and miles in almost every direction. The elevation was i want to say around 7000 feet. I think we just sat there for around fifteen minutes. it was that beautiful.
Dad was panting all the way. but he made it :)
After we got down the mountain there was a nice sized rock face that we could freeclimb so me and paul did that while my dad stood at the bottom taking pictures. Was a good view as well. Not quite as high but still a fun climb.
I'll post a couple pics in this post and some more on my album later.
