The Scree & Sunrise of Gunung Agung

INDONESIA | Mon, 25 Aug 2008 | By cam2yogi | Views [1939]

Day 5: Gunung Agung I t’s pitch black. My knees ache. My legs are loose, wobbling with each unstable step. This is not helping in the least bit. The scree beneath my feet, the chalky volcanic rock, crumbles with the slightest pressure. I grip ... Read more >
