Have I climbed there before?

Enormous and Powerful seems to be descriptive of our ability to consume delicious edible plants and animals.

Geoff commenting on yesterday "F'ng Gandalf goes up and works his magic then comes back to his walking stick. "

It was great to climb with Jim and hang out that evening with Wendy and Jamie on their deck, what a view! We feasted on a Salmon dinner and spread, thanks for the hosptaliy!
