This is Sri Pada in Sri Lanka.
In the lingua franca it is "the place where butterflies go to die".
It is the only proper mountain I have ever climbed.
As I recall, getting up it was a great deal harder and less pleasurable than coming down the other side.
On the day following my fiftieth birthday I am tempted by tortuous analogies.
For everyones sake, I intend to resist them.
