There’s something magical about reaching the peak just as the evening sky turns into a canvas of twinkling stars. It was 6.05 PM, and I had just conquered South Sentinel Mountain, a journey that took me along the scenic Pengally Ridge Trail – or as I fondly call it, the South Ridge.
As I stood there, the city below was a distant sparkle, like a giant Christmas tree decorated in thousands of lights. The clouds, touched by the city’s glow, wore an orange hue, adding to the surreal beauty of the moment.
But this ascent wasn’t just about the view. It was a moment of reflection, away from the chaos of work and the absurdities of office politics. There’s something about the cold breeze at the summit that puts everything into perspective.
The descent was a race against the cold and hunger, a reminder of the mountain’s unyielding nature. By 6.52 PM, back on familiar ground, I felt a mix of relief and accomplishment. The mountain had once again offered its silent wisdom, and I, a weary hiker, had listened.
