So-Called Hill

They had called it a hill. But as I stood at the base, that wasn't the word that sprung to my mind. 'Mountain' was an early contender, 'sheer-faced cliff' getting disqualified due to it being 2, maybe 3 words, with 'big' ending up winning the popular vote after a couple run-offs.


Unfortunately, I could see what was the start of a 'path' heading up. I had to call it that because 'seemingly impossible direction to travel' didn't roll off the tongue.


Not as well as I rolled off the 'big' a 'hundredish' meters up the so-called 'path'.
