two weekends ago three friends and i climbed old rag.
we labored, scrambling over rocks and panting up switchbacks.
i begged for a breather more than once...
but we persevered.
over the rough terrain...
up slippery surfaces worn by many feet...
in our 'impractical' gear, as so many commented...
one step at a time we climbed.
we reached the summit;
the view was breath-taking.
each day i persevere toward the ultimate summit.
over the slippery slope of failure,
scrambling on past rocky discouragement,
persevering for the promises.
i can't help but believe the view will be breath-taking.
well worth every step of my climb.
rach, kris, andrea, and i
our view

beautiful...yes, I think it will be worth the climb--the struggle, pain, tears, joys, disappointments, treasures -- everything that we experience here!
Thanks for the comment on my last post.
Nice pictures. That does sound like a heap of fun, but I guess there isn't a mountain too close to home so we'll have to save it for my visit. Oh yeah. Did I tell you that I'm planning a dream visit? I'm imagining it all out so nice...and wish it could happen. Luvs...
wow, looks great! brings back memories of the time i climbed Old Rags!
You have such a way with words, Brooke. I often think of all those people we met along the way...:) Thanks for coming with us.
Luv,Rach
