This is a high-altitude overnight summit expedition to the highest peak in Lebanon.
We will carry our own equipment, establish a mountain basecamp below the summit, sleep under the stars, wake up before dawn, and attempt the summit at sunrise.
A real mountain experience for hikers looking for challenge, altitude, exposure, and expedition atmosphere.
