Mission Peak

Yes people this was the adventurous weekend in a long long time. Wasn't really an adventure but was real fun. Saturday morning we planned to start in the mroning by 6:00 am. But its been aeons since I woke up early. SO we started the hiking in the morning at 7:00 am. we were 5 of us. The start was real dreadful. We climbed up about 100, no may be 300 rather may be 400 feeet and suddenly my eyes started closing by itself. I said to the guys around me that I was feeling sleepy. They started laughging and everyone thought that I was also kidding But later I realised that I was feeling dizzy and I came down to a halt. Suddenly I started puking. But I didnt eat anything so wasnt realing puking stuffs.Yeah a dreadful start. We didnt even climb 100 sorry 400 feet and there was talk of going back.
But we had some real char including me so we started back and we climbed then for abt 2.5 hrs. yeah ofcourse I had to eat some Britannia cream biscuits and a banana. SO finally we reached the top of the hill MISSION PEAK.It was about 2525 feets above. but the start really made me feel that I am getting old and I wasnt the same young boy who always used to jump around and keep playing. Moreover Iam not a regular guy who hits the gym everyday. Not too much of test of my stamina and empty stomach to add to it. All the above statements are to make u guys feel that I am not really that WEAK and it is becuase of all the above reasons that I fainted I mean ALMOST fainted.
Well anyway we had made upto the top. I am not man of heights. It took me abt a month to look down through my balcony. Ofcoure that was on 7th floor and the window was as big as open balcony.Just to give u idea of how scared was I of heights. It was now time to get down and it was pretty steep not exactly steep but good enough to make me walk on four legs.Soon I was up on 2. But was taking the baby steps , reminded me of Govinda from DEEWANA MASTANA. Soon it was fine and I made finally back to the bottam SAFELY. A little bit of pain in the legs was common for everyone and I was not different. SO it was abt 6 miles in all and 2525 feets up and back. A decent excercise for me after a long longtime. So finally after a little wobble in the start we Made the MISSION PEAK possible. I guess now iam tired and ready to be flat on my bed.Will post How early do I get up on SUnday.
