The mountain in question

The journey was long, arduous and full of loose rock that crumbles beneath your feet. The total ascent was about 2500 ft I believe. It was also extremely cold and windy up at the top which made for some more added misery.

This is looking East over the town and down onto the campus

This is looking South West with a bit of the antenna cluster on the right side. If you look carefully you can see a cluster of vehicles where we eventually walked to to get a ride down.

I wanted to hotlink them all and stretch out the forum a lot but I didn't want my site to serve up 27 mb of images each time someone loaded the page D:
 
I'd love to just spontaneously climb a mountain.

When driving past one, I'd just like to leap out the car and run as fast as I can to the peak.

Does anyone else get this overwhelming urge? Has anyone ever followed through?
 
it always looks a lot easier from the bottom :p
 
Nice.

I did it a couple of times in Greece, but they weren't very big mountains. When the family would stop to get food and take a piss at tiny roadside cafes in the mountains, I'd try and climb the nearest high ground (usually about ten or twenty minutes up, and great views).
 
Man, I think I drove past that mountain once. It looks so familiar.
 
I live in florida now. The closest thing to a mountain here is a 4 degree incline.

No... I'm serious. I've driven through New Mexico before, several times. I think I've been past that mountain. :|

it's on interstate 25 (largest one in NM that goes North south) so you probably did.

It's in the middle of the state :)
 
There's not one mountain where I live. :| I'm jealous!

I used to live in Vermont though! Mountain state, mmmmm

I used to live by those, but then I moved away to the desert because I'm an idiot :(
 
Nice, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado & Utah have some of the best mountains.

I've climbed all over and fished around this bad boy

I have, actually, since I've spent my fair share of time in the Appalachians. The southwest is excellent for camping/hiking though. I've gone on a few trips out there, been through Zion, Capitol Reef, Bryce, Yellowstone, Grand Teutons, Flaming Gorge, etc, and it was beautiful :D
 
you need to get out more pitz D:

I'm not sure if I could handle living on the plains anymore tbh D:
 
I climbed a mountain out in colorado, twice. Climbed it once 5 years ago, stopped where I thought was the top... then I went back last year, and found out that there was still about 700 feet to go up. -_-
