New friends and Accomplishments 3！

There is no person left behind and sense of mutual care, if somewhat temporary is established.

From joining as a complete stranger to getting to genuinely know people as I ascended, it was a great experience. It was perhaps a perfect ‘ice breaker’ between people as a solitary journey would have been a little harder to deal with. While nobody has time to really carry a full blown conversation for hours, it was interesting to get to hear about people and their experiences on the way and of course being able to share my own was part of the whole bonding theme. In the future I would definitely plan to do mountain hiking with friends or a group. There is something great about discovering and knowing new friends all the while facing a challenge and realising new accomplishments together.
