How far did you climb? On your rock?

I don't climb now, just too hard.

But did it.

Not a climb as such, more an extremely difficult uphill walk laugh

Croagh Patrick, Mayo, Ireland.

It's where St Patrick was said to have fasted for 40 days back in 500 AD or so.
Lots of Christians gather here and the tradition of pilgrimage to the mountain dates back 5,000 years. Its called the Holy Mountain and a special place.

The views over Clew Bay are spectacular.
