Day 6

Tuesday, May 17th Day 6

This is a mini blog to tell about my scary, fun, exciting adventure up a tall mountain behind our hostel in Grunderfjour. Yesterday was the craziest day yet for me. When we started our trek to the mountain I would have never guessed what the outcomes would be. I pushed myself further than I was expecting to. I was afraid of going straight up the mossy, rocky slope but tried to tell myself it would be okay. We had to cross over icy snow going up as well and that was very scary. I did not look down. I proved to myself, once again, that I am stronger and braver than I think I am. Also that I need to have more faith in myself. I'm so thankful for everyone that I hiked up to the top with (half of our group went up), especially Sarina, Elly, Brightin, Harmony, and Jessie.They stayed behind and helped me after my slide down on the ice with Elly, which was totally awesome except that my hands were so numb and stinging that I could not feel or move them. I didn't wear gloves when I slid down so my bare hands were in the ice the whole time. My hands have never felt that much pain. I started to see blood coming up from my skin getting torn off by the ice. It hit me once I got off the icy slope (we were still going down the mountain) and I started crying and couldn't think straight. Thankfully Elly was my little mommy and helped me put my gloves on. Also Sarina and I had an awesome convo hiking back to the hostel. Overall, the hike was well worth it!! Here are some pics from that day.

My wounds are slowly healing. :)
