I climbed a mountain today. And then it poured. The below link has some good insight on the Four Beasts mountains, but I dispute the author's claim that the mountain can be climbed in 15 minutes. That may be true (although even then I doubt it) if you take the main entrance he's talking about, on the side with the stairs. The other side of the mountain comes with dirt trails, broken steps, large boulders over which you can gambol (or try while huffing and puffing), and one large section where the only way to ascend is to hold onto the cable nailed into the side of the mountain. Why we chose this side to climb up the mountain is beyond me--I wasn't aware there was a well-maintained, stair-ed, and even hand rail-ed side to the mountain until the pouring rain came, and then my guides said--"Maybe we should take the safer side down?"
Taipei and Taipei 101 from Elephant Mountain
and endurance to carve all these names here.
I gotta say, even to me, getting to the top of this
mountain is not that impressive.
