It was worth it. I'm not gonna say no if someone invites me to go again. But I could barely walk until more than a week had passed. When we got there, having noodles, then we saw some foreigners (a korean guy and an American, I'm not sure about the American) They were told not to continue. They didn't have a chance to see the views from the top of the mountain. Miserable...
