The hikers proudly shared their hiking experience, including feeling the tremors of a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck Japan on 23 August 2026 while they were on the mountain. Expedition leader and Peak Journey founder, Mr. Azim Afif, also recounted his experience climbing Mount Everest during the devastating Nepal earthquake in 2015. The sharing session highlighted the growing popularity of mountaineering and the importance of rigorous mental and physical preparation to ensure personal safety, as well as teamwork and peer support.
