Second Visit to Old Rag Mountain

Taken in the "rock scramble" section, where we were the only ones over 35 who dared to enter. . . 
Sometimes a boulder; sometimes a stone;
Sometimes a high one wouldn't let me climb on;
Sometimes a chill of fear blew on my bones;
Sometimes a boulder; sometimes a stone.
(written to the tune of the song, "Sometimes a diamond, sometimes a stone.")

Thanks to a few pushes and pulls from Butch and one from a kind, fellow climber, though, I made it through the "scramble" and on to the beautiful mountain summit. Total hiking, climbing and running time = 4.5 hours.
View from the summit. . .

That sure was nice of Butch to pick up that boulder so you could scoot under instead of having to climb over it. (LOL)
