Mt. Tarak Ridge: The Story of Perseverance and Camaraderie
“You don’t climb mountains without a team, You don’t climb mountains without being fit, You don’t climb mountains without being prepared And you don’t climb mountains without balancing the risks and rewards. And you never climb a mountain on accident – it has to be intentional.” - Mark Udall As what the quote goes, climbing a mountain must have a purpose, a different purpose of diverse teams. We are once asked “Why do you climb?” I echoed the same question to myself on our intention why we are climbing. At first, it is because we feel fulfilled every time we reached the summit, we feel robust by conquering heat and height, and we feel hale and hearty through perspiration. But above all those intentions, it is now clear on our mind why we surmount summits. And we learned this by conquering Mt. Tarak, our first major climb after defeating eight mountain peaks.
