Interrupting our regularly scheduled program to document that I attempted to climb Ben Lomond (3,196 feet) today, and sadly came up short. I experienced four seasons in one day, had to convince the dog who desperately wanted to play fetch with the tree branch I was using as a walking stick that I needed that stick far more than she did, and for the first time ever, took longer to descend a mountain than I took to ascend it. (About 3 hours ascending, 3.5 descending.) All told, I made it about 3/4 of the way up.
Details and photos to follow at a later date.
Cheers y'all!
