"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Consolation after bailing on BlackThis was my consolation prize after deciding to bail on Black Mountain. Class 4 rock and very steep heather on Black Mountain didn't seem safe to do solo on top of what I had to do to get back. This was a neat little summit with only two entries in its register which was placed in 1987. Not much for prominence but a great objective. I will try Black from Painted next time with snow.
