I have one no one else here has done, I climbed up the 800 feet observation hill, above McMurdo Station. ;)

But to those that climb with companions, how do you find these people? "I have an idea, lets go to Tanzania and climb Kilimanjaro" isn't likely to get many positive responses.

In the movies it's always one yuppie who's sold out his soul and his college buddy fuckup.  :)

I would be the yuppie who sold his soul, but by this time the booze and smokes have taken their toll on the college buddy fuckups.  :(

I come in two different models of college fuckup.  Choose the one that's right: for you.

a 400ft high mountain
:huh: That sounds more like a hill, son.
Need some batteries for your irony detector?

Mono, do you ever walk up The Peak? That's 1,811 ft.


Oh I have no idea.  Yeah I've done it a few times, actually.  It doesn't feel difficult even for me, because there is a nice paved road from bottom to top.

This has kept me thinking, I have done mountain hiking but not mountain climbing like up a cliff. I have also gone up a cold fast moving creek in a tropical rainforest, the waterfall parts were mostly climbing, does that count?
I need to hit the trails soon.
