It's funny, when you look at a big mountain from a distance, it looks IMPOSSIBLE to climb. You even wonder what kind of crazy fool might attempt to do such a thing. Then before you know it, you're gazing misty-eyed at your hiking boots and selection of torches, dreaming of all the pretty pictures you might take from the top.
That is kind of how me and Derek ended up climbing one of the highest volcanos in Central America. One minute it was a silly idea, and then suddenly...
The view from the top was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. I do like clouds a lot (possibly not as much as Sian!), so it was bound to wow me, but take a look at the photos, bear in mind the limitations of StephPhotographyInc, and say it wasn't worth the effort...
View when we arrived at the top:
Nice place to camp:

Me toasting marshmallows on the fire (not a very good idea to stray too far from the fire - very cold!):
