Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
The most exciting thing I've done recently was climb Mt. Ishizuchi, the tallest mountain in western Japan. In addition to the standard climbing path there is also a series of gigantic chains draped down the mountainside that you can climb up, with no harness or ropes or anything. Climbing link by link was exhilarating; the weather was perfect and the view from the top was incredible.
