THE FACTS:
- The highest point in Adelaide at 727 meters (2385 feet)
Uncle Warwick, Daryl, Alicia, and I go to climb Mount Lofty. I was warned that one part would be bad as they demonstrated with their arms a slope at which I would say an 80 degree angle. Now all three failed to mention this bit lasted for 1k and that the rest of the walk would be at an angle of 75 degrees. I was naiive when they told me it would be hard thinking they just meant that one bit, they meant the whole hike. Alicia and Daryl left us and went ahead. I told Uncle Warwick to leave me (the out of shape American) and that I would meet him at the top. He stayed with me as I painstakingly inched my way up the hill. I think I almost had a few heart attacks as a never ending string of curse words flowed through my head. I stayed positive with what I said though because I was the one who said just how much I love hiking. I did it though and in the end I'm proud I did it and it was a great experience but next time I'll definitely just drive up with Auntie when I want to see the view.
