Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 9 Week 5 - What Mountain Do You Want To Climb?
I tend to avoid high places due to fear of heights but this contest made me question that fear.
Have you ever climbed a mountain?
I have never climbed a mountain before. The nearest thing to a mountain is a hill in my village. My village is a hilly place where all the streams and rivers are mostly surrounded by hills.
While we have water for other uses in the house such as bathing, cleaning the house, and doing the laundry, the drinking water is either a sachet of water or fetch clean water from the stream. It is during the process of fetching this water that I experience a little bit of climbing somewhere high.
Which mountain will you climb next? What sensations and passions do you want to find there?
Mount Patti Ridge located at Lokoja, Kogi State in Nigeria is one of the mountains that I will love to climb.
Why? It is famous for being the hill where Flora Shaw got the inspiration to name the country Nigeria.
Mount Patti Ridge offers an aerial view of Lokaja and a confluence of River Niger and River Benue.
What challenges might you find to climb the mountain of your dreams?
Distance: Most of the mountains are located in the Northern part of the world which means one has to drive to the area if they don't reside there.
To travel to these parts of the cities will cost a lot and will also take almost a day or two to get to the desired destination.
Fear of heights: As I mentioned, I have a fear of heights which has limited me to cancel any mountain climbing. When I'm in a high place, I feel very light-headed. It is on my bucket list, so one day I will try it out.
What did you prepare to be able to climb the mountain of your dreams?
First, I will go for a checkup to ensure that I'm in good shape to go for the activity. So that I wouldn't fall sick on the way.
Since the place is not located in my area, I will have to travel on time and relax before beginning the climbing so that I will not be anxious and be climbing.
I will come with my phone to capture the memories and beauty I will see on top and water can for water.
I invite @pea07 @lhorgic and @davidmarkgeorge to take part in this contest.

It's good that the Challenge made you carry out an analysis of your Fear of Heights, so they encourage you to Venture to Know the wonders of Nature in the heights.
Good idea to carry out a good medical check-up beforehand.
Good luck in the challenge
Kind regards!!!
