chibi_chibi_tsukino Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Today I am very exhausted and very very happy to, I climbed Mt Kosciusko with a few friends on the weekend. It is Australia's highest mountain and one of the 7 summits (the highest mountain of each continent). Climbing mt kosciusko has been a major goal for me for a long time and I'm so happy I made it. It is a big step in my young and rather unsuccessful mountaineering career XD Xepha and hrtbrk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That is very impressive! I'm proud of you, and I wish I had done something that impressive in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Climbing an ACTUAL mountain is pretty big news! (as opposed to the proverbial mountain, that is) Congrats on your climb! You've done more than a lot of people can speak of, so you should be proud of that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibi_chibi_tsukino Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks everyone :) The mountain is only 2228m and actually very easy to climb (I've done higher and more difficult in the past). It is, however, one of the most famous ones i've done so far. (My most famous mountain is probably Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa). wow congratulations! ^_^ and hopefully it was nice weather for you too, i think the weather in Australia.. it doesn't know its supposed to be summer :P are you going to make it a goal to climb all 7 summits? The weather was FREEEEEEEZY up here, around 0 degrees. It was very foggy, too, so no nice sights etc. It was a pretty awesome experience nonetheless :) I'm definitely NOT going to do all 7 summits. The ones in North and South America are brutal (BRUTAL!) climbs, no way. I do want to climb Kilimanjaro in Africa and I hope to climb up to Everest base camp at 5364m but definitely NOT the summit of Everest, that is way beyond my physical capabilities.
