    would be pretty cool…esp if it was one of those places that few get the chance to climb
    places unseen by so many…i love the mountains…i need to make another trip soon…

    Tongue in cheek, yet also wry humour there. Yep, we know that mountain all too well, well done on climbing it!

  12. Climbing the mountain of paperwork and getting through the bureaucratic nonsense, an amazing feeling, a mountain climbed, an emotion well written.

    This left me with a big smile. Great job with the prompt! And yay for you!

  14. The mountain.. and the other part of the struggle.. not just the climb itself.. Works so well both as a metaphor as directly.

  15. I love this Michael the way you’ve written it! Sweden is extremely bureaucratic there is paperwork for going to the loo it seems
