IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:

This was a strange and interesting chapter. It is our first failed attempt. We had initially started ascending Marale Betta, but due to thick vegetation, we could not make it to the top. Then we got back down (after 2 hrs), and guess what, we summited another hill - Horagallu Betta :)

And this marked 382 days, 61 treks, 13 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 49th trek in 45 weeks for 2026, with 46 first-time ascents and zero repeats :)
