Not a hill climber myself but after Sammy died I started going on longer walks. Walked down what we call Snake hill, past my old grade school and then down the road a ways my high school and climbed what we call High School hill. It's steep but I made it home. Dawned on me that my phone counts my steps or go up hills or steps. Ended up I climbed 18 stories. It would have been easier with steps rather than an incline. So 18 stories 180 feet and it about killed this old man...lol.

What is the highest hill or mountain you have climbed.
Hmm... well if you mean as in Hike it would be somewhere in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. If you mean actually climb.. that would be a small rock ledge cliff in Minnesota when I was learning to climb.

Mt. Vezuvious. Quite proud as we were the only seniors in our group to do it.

Mt Finnan in Rauma, Norway, in 1985 (1786 meters - or 2860 feet - above sea level). I lived in the village below for 18 years and the view is breathtaking!  |

I could probably do that but it also might take year to get to the top.

Well, I cheated a little. One can drive up to 700 meters and only walk the remaining 1100.  From where you leave your car, you use maybe 3 hours up and 2 down to the mountain road. |

But, of course! You can't get the right ambience for watching a movie without a bowl of popcorn! I always do!

I've stopped eating corn products for health reasons. Now, I favour sour cream pretzels and wine gum crocodiles with a bottle of sparkling water whenever I go to the cinema. My wife buys an extra large popcorn and complains afterwards that it was too much! LOL
