I did it! This morning I defeated the south face of Everest, better known as Bell Hill. I set off from home at 6:15 and felt pretty good. On the way to the hill a beautiful Barn Owl flew past about 3 metres away. "Got to be a good omen", I thought.
So I got to the bottom of the hill and put the bike into 4th gear, stood up in my pedals, and went for it. A bit of puffing and panting and a few minutes later and I was at the summit, with a big grin on my face.
I sort of fancied the north face afterwards (Bollands Hill), but decided against it. I’ll do that next time.
