Today I went up a mountain

The title pretty much says why I'm posting. Today, I went up a mountain. Nick is going to be going up a mountain three times a week. I may decide to join him since it's such a crazy workout.

I must be really out of shape. We were climbing the mountain for like ten minutes and I started to get gassed. So basically, every ten minutes I had to take a rest. I think Nick was tired too, but not as much as I was seeing as he went up it on Thursday.

The mountain itself is not overly huge, but it is impressively high. The main difficulty in climbing it is that it is basically on a 60 degree slope with retardedly high steps. Often there are no steps, but simply rocks instead. The mountain path seems to have been carefully carved out from the bush and trees that must have been in its place long ago. That being said, you are surrounded by nature the whole time you ascend. Think like walking through a forest that goes up instead of sideways and then clears into a field of bush that also only ascends.

Anyway, the view from the top made the trip worth it:





On a side note: When I upload images to Blogger, it might as well say, "Your images are being uploaded to Blogger. Please do something else for half an hour while this shit happens!" That being said, to get the full scoop of photos, check Facebook.

That's all for now. Until next time!
