احلى مغامرة عشتها

كانت الرحلة رائعة، والمسار كان يجمع بين المشي والتسلق، و شعور الوصول إلى قمة الجبل كان خيال! شخصيًا واجهت صعوبات خلال المسار، بس ما استسلمت و فاجأت نفسي بقدرتي بانهاء المغامرة. وكل الشكر والامتنان لفريق لوست ماونتن، كانوا خدومين جدًا، و شرحهم كان ممتاز، و ساعدونا في كل خطوة. تجربة لا تنسى!

تجربة رائعة للي يحب يتحدى نفسه من الناحيه البدنيه فيها تسلق جبلي وانزال بالحبال تقريبا تسعين متر والمشي الجبلي قرابة عشره كيلو مايعتبر مجهوده بسيط ، ومن الناحية النفسيه راح تشوف قد ايش عندك قدرة تحمل وصبر وعزيمه تكمل للاخير د كانت مرتي الثانيه لتسلق جبل قرينيت وماهي الاخيره بالتاكيد .. انصح في التجربه مع قروب لوست ماونتن سواء في د الجبل او في غيره
