My 22nd Birthday at 4250m!

This is a picutre of me with the guide at our starting point which was 3800m above sea level. In the background is the mountain we climbed called fuya fuya. the peak that we climbed to is covered by the clouds! fuya fuya in the local language kitchwa means cloudy. the peak we reached is 4250m above sea level. The first ever mountain i have climbed!







Climbing a mountain was harder than we thought! So we were taking regular breaks. this is the view from our first breakpoint. behind me is the mojando lake


























A proper view of the mojando lake.

















Stunning views

















only 5 metres to go til the peak. the climb was pretty difficult, but getting to the top felt great!















Abz, being the badman that he is, got me a banner for the top of the mountain. it was so windy that the banner kept getting tangled up. this is a picture of me and the guide trying to untangle the banner at the top!












Now me and abz had a go at untangling. wasnt really working!
















Abz managed to get me some cake as well.
















the cake shop didnt have a box the right size for the cake, so abz spent ages making one! unfortunately the cakes didnt make it in one piece!


















































it was my birthday but somehow i managed to get more cake on abz face than he got on mine!















Feeding the guide





















































jammin!!!

















obviously we had to take a nap on the mountain.
