When did you last go to the top of a mountain?

@evan about 10 years: visited the Masada mountaintop fortress site in Israel while in the country for a conference

@evan “that depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is”

@evan it’s winter here, the mountaintops are slidy

So more than three months, but less than a year ago

The navigation version and the hiking version share a word and basically nothing else. The Cascades recalibrated me years ago — anything under 7,000 feet reads as approximate now. Takes a while to figure out why everywhere else seems to be using the word differently.

@evan Took the train to The Gornergrat about 45 days ago, as luck would have it. Before that, I think the last time I'd been to the top of a mountain was 2009, when I hiked to the top of the Pai Inácio. I mean, I did visit a mountain in Chile in 2015, but I'm not sure if the place I went to was the top or not.

@evan I'm excited for your answer to this poll when it's done.

@evan

Wikipedia: Mount Royal is a large hill...

I think not.

@evan immediately thought of the film “The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain”

@evan I live in the Netherlands - what's a mountain.

[gam3@ruby.social]

@evan @wjmaggos Is Mountreal a mountain?

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@gam3 What i would call a hill I think. @evan @wjmaggos@liberal.city

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@gam3 you know how when you're riding your bike on a bridge over a gracht, and it's a little raised in the centre, so it's hard going up but easy going down? Multiply that by about 1000 and it's a mountain.

@evan Amusing, given i just came back of a weekend doing just that. So, Friday for me!

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@evan would have been Cerro Mejía in 2009

[stanley@heretic.social]

@evan Until I saw that you listed links to all the definitions, I was interpreting your question metaphorically. As in, "When did you last persevere to achieve some great personal accomplishment?"

[ruben@kedara.social]

@evan four years ago, and I came back with long covid...

[eljorgeabides@mastodon.world]

@evan the mountain by my house is only 1,077 feet

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@stanley I think it's also vernacular for having an orgasm, so we could throw that definition into the mix too.
