After the beach, we drove to the foot of the mountain to begin our climb. We established what we liked to call “base camp” at the power station/radio tower. It took us a steady 45 minutes of climbing to reach the summit. The view from above was quite amazing. We had the perfect day, and the weather held up for us. A slight rain shower quickly passed over us, and left us with views that we’ll never forget.
Me Father may look like he had a heart attack, but he's still alive & didn't expire on top of the mountain. The climb was pretty harsh though. A lot longer than I remember. Good thing he was in practice at the gym all these months. Turns out this outcrop of rocks is called a bed by some of the locals, for obvious reasons. I'm proud of my Dad who at age 62 made the climb.
