Reaching New Heights...

Today was a great day, we climbed up a couple of mountains and with a panoramic view of our surroundings we just kinda took it in....it was well worth the climb. An incredible view to enjoy after a quick climb. (Approx. 1,683 MAS) The hike back... An ANP soldier looks out from his Opsrvation Point. This is the description of the hand carved stairs that lead to a cave with Pashtu writing carefully carved into the side. This cave is located at the summit of one of the mountains on the outskirts of Kandahar City.The stairs and the cave at the summit. An example of some of the carved writing.. Me and a team member in the cave..

Me outside the cave at the summit overlooking the outskirts of Kandahar City (Approx. 1,700 MAS).
