Part 4/11:
Entry into the area was brutal. The team couldn't land directly at their target site; instead, they had to disembark from helicopters mid-flight, jumping onto the rocky landscape from heights of 10-15 feet, carrying heavy gear. The ascent involved navigating goat paths that only mountain goats could traverse, with the team climbing steep, narrow trails at high altitude amid scarce oxygen. It was a grueling physical challenge that underscored the brutal reality of mountain warfare.
