There’s a small mountain just 200 meters from my home. Tried to go up there once, but realized halfway that you need proper shoes for that. It’s in the middle of town, but still unsecured wilderness, so you feel like you’re climbing a proper mountain pretty quickly. Basically, the kind of experience that others will drive out into the countryside for.
And the thing is, I do have proper shoes at home. I’ve been meaning to head back up there and to the top, to get the proper outlook (which has got to be pretty fucking cool, since you can see the whole town even from halfway up).
But yeah, because I could head up there at any point in time, it’s always been a matter of “Oh, it’s too wet this weekend” or too icy or too hot or any other excuse.
Like, yeah, maybe don’t climb a mountain when it’s icy, but none of the other reasons would’ve stopped me, if I was here on vacation…
