Waiting.
Someone said to me yesterday that I could now tick off “climbing Ireland’s highest mountain” on my list of things to do before I die. It was never on my list. I don’t have a list. I told them this. They politely suggested I make one promptly, put it on the list and tick it anyway. I think Ireland only has four mountains. A mountain by definition has to be more than 1000m, I think Carrauntoohil is 1041m. (lots of speculation here.) It started to snow as we climbed. We hadn’t expected that. At the top shrouded in mist we stumbled upon an impromtu performance of Waiting for Godot. Two experienced hikers huddling frozen beneath the cross/tree.
“Let’s go. Yes, let’s go. (They do not move).”
“I don’t seem to be able… (long hesitation) to depart.”

Mountains are subjective according to where you are and what language is spoken. In Lithuania for example, a wonderfully flat land; people refer to larger hills as mountains. Whereas in say, Switzerland.. its a lot harder to be a mountain =]
