Or, really, riding in the passenger seat while someone else drives up things. Wow, when did I get so boring? I’m all for driving up things.

Shasta kills people. I bet you could do Mount Lassen, though. Or just drive up Diablo. Shasta is hard. Shasta kills people. I bet you could do Mount Lassen, though.

When I *can* imagine myself doing so, I will do it. And I will bring a camera!

I've climbed Mt. Fuji - I believe the old adage is "Only a fool never climbs Fuji, but only a fool climbs it twice." It wasn't easy, even though I started halfway up (by bus). The shelter where I slept on the mountain was uncomfortable and the food was poor. The sunrise the next morning was worth it, though, as was the small Shinto shrine. Boy was I sore for days! Remind me and I'll get a photo online. I'm shocked none of them are in my gallery yet. Gorgeous picture.

And I don't look for "climbing more mountains" to be on my to-do list any time soon. But in my teens and 20s I made it to the top of several. So I will tell you this. You may not want to do it a second time, but the first time you go to the top of a major mountain you will decide that it was well worth the effort of the climb. Be sure and take a camera.
