after about an hour trek I got to the top (leaving my parents behind about half way up, they just couldnt make it)

I didnt have any dogs with me on the trip <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> but a rat managed to stow away in my gear

Sorry about the lack of quality to the pictures. My step-dad had the good camera so I had to use my camera phone for all of these.
