After the picnic, short rest and photo ops, it was time to descend the mountain. This is the start of the descent.
There were no ropes here. You had to be careful of your footing, or hold on to the grasses for support.
Btw, our ascent was ~2.5 hours, descent was ~3h due to several rest breaks. Our guide said that our group was somewhat fast. The ascent is usually done in 2-3 hours. Two hours for experienced mountaineers, 3 hours for amateurs - so our group was intermediate in speed. The guide also said that some people give up when climbing the roped part (due to the difficulty) and/or some cry due to fear. For me, the roped part was really a bit scary, since if you lost your footing or happened to let go of the ropes - you're kaput. We didn't wear any harness (probably should have). Would I climb Mt. Ahit again? Probably yes, but I would prepare better for it - jog more, run uphill or up/down stairs, do pull-ups or push-ups, etc.
