    I am on top of my mountain
    Completed my first climb:
    Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland 5390 steps 360 flights - started 9/26/2009.

    I obviously took my ol' sweet time getting up this mountain. I have now learned my lesson and will start smaller.

      after doing one of the mountains, the smaller climbs will seem like a cake walk! and just think, when you return to the mountains, you'll have one of them outta the way!

Just you give the starters shot and base camp numbers (300 again?) and I'm with ya. If you want to finish your current climb first, that's fine too.
