Reads like a good contender for the contest. I would not want to go there even though one might be able to see for miles once the top had been reached. There are some brave souls that do that sort of climb. I appreciate the visit to my page. Sara

Climbing the mountain I climbed today was daunting enough. My nephew’s ashes were spread at the top.

Great mixed pairs; good from the beginning to the end. No surprise there.

Your haikus have inspired me tonight, Kim. (See my site today for 'A Mountain-Climber's Prayer). Thank you, my friend. ~ Peak Experiences, Gershon

No win but I did enjoy writing this after watching a National Geographic about Everest. Thank you, sweet friend!
