Mount Diablo (hexbear.net)

I’ve been trying to summit Mount Diablo since I was a teenager. I don’t live in the bay area but I have a lot of family that does so been there many times. Got farther than ever before so I consider it a success. About a 1/2 mile from the top we came to a stretch with a skinny path and a 1000 foot drop and I just couldn’t do it. About 50 ft in I got down on my hands and knees and the people I was with laughed at me and said yeah that’s not gonna work we should just go back so we did. If I lived near mountains I would do this every week. Got a mild fear of heights but as long as the drop offs aren’t too severe it's a lot of fun the views are amazing and a great workout.

It's funny I was thinking about that mountain like 2 days ago because I remembered the game was actually named after it. Cool photos!
