RE: Golden day on beautiful Ben Ledi
you are right, no mountain can be considered as easy, depending on so many factors. You are very patient and perserverant to go on twice with those magnificent mountains. It seems that the mountain allows us to reach its pic or not... it is more an invitation than a climber's victory. Makes us humble before those huge Lords. Anyway, thank you for sharing !
I totally agree about the mountain allowing us to reach the summit. I have massive respect for the mountains! I had a bad accident on Beinn Eighe in Torridon a few months ago - I fell and lost a lot of teeth. It was my second time climbing it - the first time, years ago, we almost reached the summit - we were just a few metres away - but we decided to return due to poor visibility. I'm going to make another attempt this spring. It's one of the most beautiful mountains in Scotland, and I will be extra careful in my attempt, and very respectful.
lost your teeth ?? How weird... normaly, we lose our pride when falling from a mountain, not our teeth, ha!ha! all my respect for your point of view and your perseverence... Wish I could be your "rope's partner" !
Thanks! Yes I'm really looking forward to it :)
@tiloups, once I was skiing on a huge mountain and horribly fell. Lost skis, lost breath, I have no idea how I survived. They hide our greatest mysteries I guess. :)
you lost your breath, you lost your skis but you did not loose yourself : you know what, moutains seems to help us to find the way back to our very deep self : our greatest will. I'm so glad you are here to witness this. The biggest mystery is within you and the mountain reveals it.
@tiloupsa, definitely. I will keep it in myself as a good learning experience. hehe :)
