    Mountain Climbing

    Anyone ever do it. I did near Fairfield Idaho as 11 year old scout not much vertical terrain. People in ward summited Borah highest point in Idaho. I don't think I ever want to try McKinley, Highest one in California or Everest. What is the point of climbing them. To say you climb them. May be a challenge I need to take. Heard that trip down is worse than trip up on mountains.

    Read in BRM's bio by Joseph Fielding McConkie he had a bet with Glenn Rudd who said he would not climb top of mountain. Said he would went without cantine and summited it. Got Steak Dinner at expensive restaurant too.

    Joseph Fielding McConkie's obituary was in the paper today.

      I climbed the Grand Teton when I was eighteen. Someday I would like to try it again.
