More Mountains… High and Low

I really thought that once we had finished the Kili climb, we were done with mountains.  However that was not to be.  I know these mountains don’t exactly compare to what we accomplished by climbing to 5895m above sea level, but some are ticks off my bucket list, and others are “wow” for us in terms of their location.  So below is a log of our climbs so far… as I commented to Rob coming down from Mount Talau, the summits are mounting up (pun intended, hee hee)!
