elusive peak.
-Come on. Let's get one last view. Well, that last gravel 1 was worth it.
-It was.
-So what about 2,500 meters up here which is about 8000 feet？What's this summit 2 called?
－Doesn't have a name.
-Doesn't have a name?
-No. Doesn't have a name.
-It will be unheard of UK to have such a mega-mountain without a name.
-Unfortunately, No.
-All right. Blaming on altitude and thickness and moments of mega-mania, I, hereby, name this Zee-Bradbury Peak.
-It sounds good. It sounds good.
-We had to have something. We got to have something to show all of the ...
-I think..
There is an obvious disappointment not making it to the top. But this is still my biggest mountain and certainly the first I've ever named. Wandering around this alternative summit, I can see how far I've come. But the real reward is in simply being here, finally standing 3 amidst the high mountains at the very heart of the Drakensberg. It might only be a fleeting 4 moment, but it's a high point in every sense. And finally, I am gifted with a clear view of Cathedral Peak.
-This excursion has reminded me that every walk is different, every mountain, every feel, every maroon 5, every copy, every hill. It doesn't matter how much planning you do. Things will probably change. I will make it up Cathedral Peak one day. But it wouldn't change this adventure for all the sunshine in Africa.
