It was raining when #1 son and I climbed it in 2014. Didn't stop once on the way up, but by the time I'd got there, my attempts at breathing drowned out the tour guide of the group of Servicemen in front of us, as he gave what appeared to be a very cogent description of the battlefield.Norman D.

I reached the top with my breath grating and pulse hammering in my temples...
Looked round...
The fuckers had taken a look, thought ‘screw that’, and not bothered.
I found the shady side and collapsed.

Re: Quotes
When I went up there I had just spent 6 months climbing mountains at 4,000 metres. I went up the steps like a bloody Gazelle to the horrified and envious looks of the tourists. When viewing the photos my dad suggested that my observation that the walk south from LHS was too gentle to show on the wargames table might not have been quite on a par with that of the view of Johnny Crapaud.

I’m about concerned about the predilection some forum members have for climbing on top of a lions behind. No wonder they’re shagged afterwards.

Is that your way of admitting that his farts were more impressive than yours?
