I prepared for months beforehand, getting into the best shape I ever was in. I really thought it would be easy. It was anything but. I got altitude sickness, literally barfed all over the place the day I reached the summit. I felt like I was gonna die. Going down was pretty scary too, lots of slipping and sliding on lava rock, felt like I was out of control of my body. Never again.
Nope, I don't think you were an idiot. Sometimes we just want to do something and do it. If we get out alive, well, there ya go!
Ha, no shit!! I did exactly the same when I was stationed in Yokosuka. I still have my stamped walking stick & flag. Got up at like 2am to reach the summit and watch the sunrise. That was a sight I'll never forget. I was built like a Navy SEAL so the hike up wasn't much effort for me till the trip down. My knees were in severe pain and went through a pair of high-top military boots on the way down. Totally shredded.
