Climb a mountain

To stand at the base of a mountain and to look up and not be able to see the summit is awesome. Feeling the cold, the tiredness and the breathlessness at a great height and then feeling the joy of knowing you have conquered the mountain as many past climbers have done is indescribable, not to mention the spectacular views. Whether it is a mountain or a very big hill you have climbed, the feeling of achievement and freedom is the same.

Mt Everest may be out of my reach, but there are many more smaller mountains that I can walk up as opposed to climb up. My list includes:

• Mount Kilimanjaro

For extra motivation I may try to make the climb for charity and raise money for one of my favorite causes.
