As we were trekking upwards. It was normal at start then the hard part started 
Some kids were going up and they were taking a short cut. I decided to take that short cut with them. At first Tariq bhai and Bilal bhai were also willing to take that shortcut but after discouragement by Waseem bhai, they decided to stick to the main trek.
As first the short cut was easy but soon I started to feel it really hard because of extreme incline and loose gravel. My boots were not hiking one, just regular joggers which kept slipping on gravel. The kid however, remained with me and gave me encouragement to keep going. On the last stretch of this short cut, I was cursing myself to take this short cut but there was no turning back now. This short cut had thorny bushes which cut through my skin at few places but eventually I joined the main trek and was ahead of everyone now Thanking the lord, I continued my journey..
No pics of these events as I was in trouble myself
