It never ceases to amaze me how fast things re-grow over there! <BR/><BR/>The wooden path was completely wiped out after the 921 earthquake, as was almost all of the vegetation on either side of the ridge it is on. You can still see remains of the old trail on the bottom of the valley.<BR/><BR/>Andrew and I managed to get about halfway up about 7-8 days after the Big One, and saw a group of monkeys skittering around on the rocks above, none the worse for wear.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759067282582187193noreply@blogger.com
