Mark and Grace came climbing this mountain with us. I think we had been out the night before and only got to the bottom of the mountain around 4pm. We were told it takes around 4 hours and it was due to get dark around 8pm so we really had to get moving. Grace and Anna did stretches against a wall before we started to go up the mountain which for some reason the lads found hilarious - can't imagine why...
Dec and Mark took off and left poor Anna and Grace lagging behind. They did their best to keep up but within 1/2 an hour their legs just wouldn't move for them. It was a beautiful day but the wind was bitter and when we finally got to the top (after a few false summits much to Grace's disgust) we didn't hang around as we really hadn't brought enough gear with us to keep warm. It was a cold (and fast) decent to try to get back to the car before dark. Poor Mark had to drive the long journey home with the rest of us out for the count. Grace said it was a good experience but I don't think she'll be joining us again...
