It was my 4 th time up that mountain but it was my first time getting a view. Worth it though. We landed back to the hostel and me and my brother made steaks and mash and that sort of gravy. Something good before destroying our bodies with alcoholism. Everybody got very drunk, few men handled it well. Rory shaved his head, I giggled ngl. Low key hottie now though. I went to bed early enough in the morning.
