Every day, I climb the mountain.
It was there, after all, and it wasn't like I was busy doing anything else with my time.
It took me 4 hours to get to the top, and 2 and a half to get down, thanks to gravity.
But I was shaving those numbers, every day. Beyond the handholds and hitching points I didn't need to make every time, I took my pickaxe and shovel, and spent that other hour and a half taking down the top.
One day, there won't be a mountain left. And only I'd have ever truly climbed it.
