Lashkar
“Iqbal deliberately avoided the route that Omar and he had taken when they had left the camp five days ago. It’s the most logical way in and out of the camp. I am sure there will be a sentry keeping an eye on it. He skirted the base of the mountain for almost an hour till he saw a ravine that seemed to run all the way up to the top. Surveying the climb carefully he then started his ascent to the camp.
Half an hour later, he realized that it was a very bad climb. The gradient was steep and the lo...ose shale was treacherous. More than once his foot lost its grip and he went tumbling down a few feet. The cold and the rapidly descending darkness of a long winter night added to his misery. Still, the rigorous training he had undergone in the camp in Muzaffarabad and his determination to get there were to his advantage. Eventually, the rhythm of the mountains began to return to him. His grip steadied. The craggy terrain felt familiar once again. His mind and feet stopped playing tricks on him.MoreLess
