Traveling to Honduras for the first time in late 2000, I found the jungly landscape intriguing, mesmerizing and mysterious. I set out to climb a peak.
With nothing in the way of high mountains in the region I was visiting, I got beta from locals about a rutted out, rainy route up one of the small but finer peaks in the area - Carambola Mountain. Sitting just off the water, the summit views promised to be inspiring.
Starting from a resort of sorts near the beach, I headed out and up on what began as a good dirt path through the dark and humid jungle. Using vines for handlines while crossing huge ruts in the jungle floor, I soon clammered my way up to the forested summit. What views I had were special.
