Thanks for your support👍

This trail started from Wata El Mrouj village to Mtein village, on this path you'll see from distance the whole mountain with its nice decorated ridges, passing through Mtein forest of wonderful trees and steep descent to the valley.
From the bridge down there ascent starts all the way through the forest, after some distance you start getting an amazing view at the mountains and valleys all around.
You then pass by a farm and continue ahead to a big transmitter, go right, after short distance there's a tree in the Middle with 2 paths and marked sign but no direction, take the left path and continue..as you reach later the house below the main road, go around it and catch the road, after short distance you take your left and go upward on dirt road muddy at this period of year, toward Ain El Rejme, spring water to fill your bottles and refresh yourself..
Weather became extremely more bad at this point with strong winds making the tree there wave all around..
From here, as my map didn't show any type of road sign path, I continued straight forward not going right up toward falougha path that I had passed through on another trail but to different destination.
After some distance there's an upward muddy way to the right, took it then started to scramble deep into the Mountain ascending on no path trying to keep moving up to catch the high path that appears on the phone map, while strong winds pushing and pulling me in all directions, as the vertical ascents were already steep and very muddy to get any good grip, made the situation harder and dangerous as was moving near the cliffs on the high edge of the Mountain..
Then appears a big block of ice snow where I discovered that there's possibly a way easier pass on dirt road but not sure if it can lead directly to Ain El Rejme or it's the path that comes from Falougha direction that I didn't want to take from Ain El Rejme as looked to be a turn around although easier route but preferred a way harder direct ascent to catch this upper path here...
On this exact corner of big block of ice snow, a whole story started by itself..will talk about someday..., ultra dangerous weather passing on mixed terrain, no option than stepping on ice and deep snow to continue..and as approached Mount Kneisseh Summit, weather became more real bad even inside the destroyed Canal 11 house up there, couldn't be a good shelter for a short rest even!!

Seems the recording from here got fucked up and didn't accurately record my descent but a direct line, attached photos as reference of path I took..
It was very dangerous on crazy weather of heavy winds and snow pellets hitting, vertically descending on mixed terrain mud stones rocks ice snow..
As you reach the dirt mud road down there continue on same path until reaching the high transmitters of electricity that you'll anyway see from distance behind..and this trail ends at Dahr El Harf on Tarshish- Zahle main road.

An Experts only trail of Extreme elevation gain, distance longer than the recorded, dangerous paths at different points of this trail, on a crazy weather day!

Easy to grab some folks and your ski equipment and go on a hike but a totally different level of experience and skills other than courage required to go ALONE with basic equipment creating new path, on a beforehand known dangerous weather day, not afraid of learning more about yourself.

You can use part of this trail according to your hiking level!

Feel free to DM me for any questions.
