There is just something about climbing to the top of a mountain

I wish I could put into words how happy climbing to a summit makes me.  This hike is hard, STEEP steps and rock scrabbling make it a very hard up, and a knee buckling down.  But there is nothing like the satisfaction I feel making it to the top.  My children feel the same and for that I am exceedingly
grateful.
