Friday, we were ready to return to Qwa Qwa for more relationship evangelism. However, there were some logistics problems. Jennifer had reserved a vehicle for us to get to Qwa Qwa, however, when she went to get it, there wasn’t one available. After a number of calls, it was determined that we would not be going to Qwa Qwa that morning. The women decided to rest and enjoy a quiet morning at Thrive. We haven’t had much time to just relax since we arrived. While they did that, Greg and I decided to climb Mt. Everest. If you look at our cabin in the picture the Friday, Feb 20, you’ll see the mountain behind the cabin. That is called Mt. Everest, and that is what we climbed.
We left the cabin at 10:10 on Friday morning. Remember, the cabin is about 6200 feet in elevation. The mountain is another 1000 feet above that. When a person is that high, the air is a little thinner and it makes breathing more difficult. We both exercise some, so we didn’t experience much difficulty in the climb. We may have stopped more often than I remember, but we kept up a pretty good pace as we moved up the mountain. There are many ways to climb Mt. Everest, and we did not take the one where we would use ropes and pull each other up. We walked up the trail. We made it in less than 35 minutes. We had a great view as you can see from the pictures. We saw not only on the Thrive side, but also on the side looking towards Harrismith. You can also see a picture of “The Eagle.” And this mountain is why the Thrive property is also call Thrive “Eagle Mountain.” That is the mountain just north of Mt. Everest, which is also on Thrive property.
