What a sense of empowerment after scaling that mountain with the roomies on saturday! Not to mention the sore feet, legs, ass, arms...you name it, it hurt. It didn't seem so bad when we first had to hike all that way to get to the mountain...funny that if we drove that distance it would have been done in like less than 5 minutes. I'm so proud of myself, I was in contact with so many strange colored spiders, attacked by these giant red bees/hornets (yes, they were red), and even a salamander...and I didn't even do my usual spastic flip out! I was checkin out this tower of "love" with M when Kev told us to check out this labyrinth thing...as soon as we walked towards it, there was the hugest unindentifiable poop smell....so horrid! So yah, basically ran thru it holding my breath. To get back at him for putting us thru that nasty maze of stench which by the way had no exit...we locked him inside the bathroom :) Dude, it was so awesome scaling those rocks and stuff....going over them, between them, under them...we even climbed some huge boulders that were unmarked...kinda scary knowing that you really could fall off the edge and die, but you kinda don't think much when you get the chance to do something like that. The one main sucky thing was when people were hot on our tails...made us feel like we had to speed up or something, even worse for me since I always say the strangest thing and now there were strangers to hear it. At one point I was making a joke that I had never consumed so much water in my life...I was saying that my body was rejecting this foreign object and this like kid turns around and gives me the weirdest look as if I had 5 heads. I think the best was when Kev was on a huge boulder and I told him to stop looking so suicidal and this guy behind us was like you're a mental case! Ohhh, the hardest part was going thru this crevice...it was sooo wet & slippery, and dark...the space was literally the size of me...I was leading and at one point towards the top I realized it was soo impossible to pull thru, of course I started freaking out that if I slipped I would drop and kill everyone underneath me...but luckily I squeezed thru! Ooooh, the view after that was soo incredible, there are no words to describe it...you could see miles and miles of green & orange trees...then you climb towards the edge and look at the long drop down...I couldn't even believe how high we had scaled. As for scares wise, I think emmy caused the biggest one cause she suddenly slipped close to the ledge and this russian lady totally flipped out...but luckily she slipped on the rock before the plumet ledge. The hike back down & back towards the car was soooo long...my suggestion was that they should have a complimentary sky-lift for the way back! The worst part was that at one point we didn't take a turn and ended up going the opposite way from the car....at that point, the complaints consisted of Kev just wanting to go sit in the car, Em needing to use the potter, and me craving for a soda or anything sugary liquid...glad to see we all have our priorities straight :P But thank you fellow wrestling champs for doing this with me, it definitely made me think less of the sh*tbomb aka ghetto breakup...
