I do not engage in that kind of physically trying behavior.
when I went to The Lake district with my school I hiked up Lafrig around 400M and the Old Man of Coniston, 840M+, it's very tiring.
moved camp about 10 miles into a mountain campsite
spent 2 days
there was a bear warning in effect at the time
i hate bugs
a few days using a wooden outhouse where the hole is just a dug out piece of nothing with a bottom about 6 feet under that appears to have stuff moving below as you do your business really makes you appreciate a working toilet
I've been hiking before, and it was kinda awesome. =)
The only place I've "hiked" was in the Grand Canyon, and it was great, but it was so long, and so hot, and we ran out of water halfway through. I'm glad I did it, but that was a nightmare.
I lurve mountain climbing.... though Id never do it by my own free willl.
good luck :)
but uh..... Natt and me use "-_-""

I live in some of the oldest mountains on earth. The Green Mountains. At the peak height a couple million years ago they were as tall as the Himalayans. I have an extinc volcano tin the next town over from me. It's the tallest free standing mountain east of the mississippi. I hike a bit :p I've also hiked in the swiss alps :p
I hiked up Mt. Palomar once with a couple of friends. Not bad, but not my thing.
It did start raining heavily as we went up, and that soon turned to hail. Five minutes from the summit, it was at its worst - we were being pelted by small pebble-sized hail. By the time we got to the top, it was clear as day.
I am a hiking fiend. I go to any local trails I can find, walk 'em, go back again and make it harder or excessively longer by going to out of the way areas, and basically make sure that I'm in danger of breaking something. It's a lot more fun that way than just walking a path.
When with my siblings, I always talk them into racing me on our paths; we usually end up running uphill. <3 I also love careening down old washes and the like, where the sides are steed and/or there are tons of small rocks that make the going trecherous. I tend to run through those areas, bouncing off the rocks as I go.
I've hiked a lot in the canyons surrounding my grandmother's; that is tons of fun. I usually go out by myself, stay out for the entire afternoon, and then drag myself back up and home. There are water springs down in the canyons, and I've been to several of them with family; those hikes have been known to take from sunrise to sunset, with everyone out of water and food at the end.
I don't consider any hiking I've done as crazy, but rather more interesting.
