17 May 2006
With the early arrival of the rainy season, though no heavy shower yet, we can now hike this trail and pick water
from the canals for boiling. However there are leeches on some sections of the trail.
People should use leech socks. Trekking is a bit more difficult now.
28 Mar 2006
On the previous hike of 8000 meters trail on 25 and 26 March 2006 to the summit there were no water along the
route. At about 2 km to the summit we walked down into a valley following a stream bed for almost one kilometer
just to find a small pool to pick water. At the summit we boiled the water for drinking and cooking.
This trip may not be run from now until the streams are with flowing water again (July).
Note in the wet season there will be leeches on the ground and people must wear leech socks and
prepare against getting wet.
