"Climb every mountain"

Yes people- I did it. Yesterday I climbed a mountain. Now many of you back home will be doubting how mountainish this mountain was- and I hear many of you filling in mountain with the word "big hill" but this was no hill, Oh no it was indeed a mountain. It is true it started with a walk in the forest- steep hill style with rocks appearing more and more frequently and then you had to climb them and then....the trees disappeared and it was bare rock face. Now many of you back home will know that I don't do absailing or rock climbing with a rope never mind rock climbing minus ropes- but I did this. It was actually really cool and great fun. Working out which way to go, where you could put your feet. The group split into 3 groups there was Helen, Sarah Amy and two other people infront then me and Aya in the middle with a man name Michel, he was fantastic- he was a trained rock climber and he helped us find the best ways and kept encouraging us. He really was fab. Behind us was Cat, Sarah M, Rich, Tim and Nina. It took us about 2 and a half hours to get to the top and it was soooo windy once up there but the views were amazing. It was such a fab day. We went up following the white spot route and came down following the white cross route. In a way I think it was harder coming down than going up- we had to climb down this mini waterfall (at which point I twisted my ankle so am walking around with a little limp but nothing to worry about). We let the summit at 3.45 and got back down at 5.30. It was soooo much fun. I would definitely do it again. Below is me Aya and our excellent tour guide around half way up the mountain.







Behind me and Aya that is the very top and we climbed all the way up there.













Just so you can see how rocky it is...and that isn't even the really steep part. So I have proved it was a mountain- now lets
show you some of views. It was beautiful.

















And just to prove that the British got to the top...
