"I do indoor rock climbing and bouldering, does that count? "

Well you know you hear these people who say I "climbed" Mount Everest say for example. How much of that is walking up small/massive steep hills and how much of it is actually climbing to the point where all you see at the side/front of you is the drop/the amount you have climbed?

I've "climbed" Mont Blanc and mt murrarata in Bolivia. Both were big snow walks. How much climbing is involved is defined by how "technical" the maintain is. For example Everest is classed as not too technical whereas something smaller like mount McKinley in the Rockies is much harder

I have a piece of granite from the top of Ben Nevis sat on my windowsill, this was extracted circa 1992.

It was snowy and foggy at the top and although it was a slow walk up the path, it was much more painful on the calves on the descent.

I call my piece of rock, well you can guess

Mt McKinley is in Alaska not the Rockies, my BF has climbed it but not summited.

true, but they are graded, so the less experienced/capable can gauge what they can handle responsibly.

i wouldn't be impressed by someone who claims to have climbed Everest.there is a small section of jigging up a rope.k2 is a different story.

ive done bits in the Himalayas

more of a rock climber upto a decent level all over Europe.

Does going downhill count?

My house is a third of the way up a mountain in Snowdonia, so I often find myself going down (Oh, honestly - your minds!!!)

But I have spent the night on top of a number of local peaks.....

And swam naked in the lakes....

It is what I meant. I just wanted to know how much was climbing compared with walking on steep slopes? Also do you constantly see the height you are climbing?

depends on the climb,as you are heading up it can be hard to know which way to go.you do feel the height especially on ridges or aretes.you never really see the summit

size doesn't matter really ..... i've driven a transit van full of musicians through the Grimsel pass in Switerland before now .... the road is twice as high as Snowdon and that's not even the highest road pass. Just get yourself up to Snowdonia with a stout pair of walking boots and a decent waterproof coat on a sunny day and get walking up the railway route .... the veiw is spectacular and it'll probably motivate you to do more. plenty of info on the net about how to do this safely. there are other more diffficult routes for the more experienced.

When I see the view. I think "that's nice/horrible view", dont think of the height. Only think of it if its beside, behind or in front of me. The view of the drop that is. The effort it would take to climb it won't bother me much. Its the drop that concerns me a bit.

Crib Goch route might make you wince a bit, however the railway route is no problem. Kids and OAP's use this route which is basically walking next to the train track from Llanberis and there's a cafe at the top so you can get a nice cup of tea and slice of cake while you take in the stunning vista's.
