I thought I was going to die...
[1430m - Balanapharu ]
We left the last camp at 7.45am, of
1100m to go. At 1400 we were clearly in
the last of the ega-egams /ega-egams
forest going into moss forest. At 1800-1900 m,
the walk became razor back with large drops
on both sides, at one point >200m. Somehow
we got views of the top of BR Raya. The
walk gave a long way through moss forest.
We saw crocans - Stihime noted at
1800m. At this alt I have loads
of Ericaceae, Nepenthes, mosses and
ferns. The brogat (EG/S) is c.
bait altered from years of occasional
use. Despite this, the area is
pristine.
Top of summit is like a maze through moss
forest
