How to climb a mountain by christie_90

"Ive done it once, never again."

How I did it: Now when I say mountain I dont meant Everest or Kilimanjaro or anything, I just climed Mount Snowdon in Wales, but its still classes as a mountain so hey, I can tick it off.

Basically I was on a geography field trip and we were given a list of activites we could do on the last day. I didnt really want to do any but as all my friends decided to climb the mountain, I went along.
It took the better part of 8 hours of non stop walking to reach the top, most of the time walking perilously close to the edge of a million foot drop, maybe Im exaggerating a bit? Now you would think that walking to the top would be the hard part, not so much. After walking down I was in so much pain, my legs practically seized up.

I would never do it again, but looking back im so proud that I accomplished it.

PasadenaSue This is the year I face my fears and love myself!

Georgrahpy Field Trip? Sounds Fun!

And you accomplished something that wasn’t on your list along the way. Sounds like fun, though tiring. Good for you!
