Haruki Murakami, a celebrated Japanese author, once wrote an article on how it felt to run an ultramarathon, that is to run 100 km in a day.  There's an excerpt of that article here:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jul/27/athletics.harukimurakami.

Last weekend I climbed Mt. Fuji, along with Sarah and Geoff, and it struck me as I read this

I went on a 6-hour hike once, up and over a mountain to a boiling lake. And back--it was 3 hours in, 3 back. It was pretty intense. This sounds like that, only greatly more so. It makes me want to do something similar again, even though afterwards I swore that was it for me and mountains :)

Congrats on your climb! That's an awesome achievement.

Cursed glacier for making the top part of Ohio flat and therefore making me unused to hills in general. (That's what I was thinking in Wales. When I wasn't thinking that hiking on coastal cliffs is the most fantastic thing ever.)
