A really long day on the wall...

We got up early to avoid queue att Via Lara (which is the most popular route) but it took some time before we got there anyway. This day started out really beautiful. I got up there and started climbing. There was just another couple on the wall so that's good. Golaleh was a bit afraid in the beginning and didn't wanna look down at first. But later on we all enjoyed the wiew since it's gorgeous. I love it when the trees are getting smaller and the wiew is more and more fantastic up there. But the clouds were coming in and at the last two pitches (estimated at 300 metres) so the rain hit us really hard and some thunder and a little hail. But we all got up safe and wet. It just took a little longer than expected. Also the way down took us really long. We brought other shoes but were soaking wet and just walked on in our climbing shoes all the way to the other side of the mountain and then down. When we came to the gravel road then I finally changed and it was so good and so dark. We arrived at the tent 01.40 am. All I could think of was to get dry clothes, because now we all were so wet and cold. We brought sandwiches for lunch but I guess we were so focused during the climb that noone thought about it. We only had water and a piece of chocolate on the route. I changed to dry clothes and crawled down in my sleepingbag to get warm. We made som tea and then fast asleep...
