Dear Fiddler:
I”™m trying to make a good impression on this lady who is wild about mountaineers. Trouble is, I”™m afraid of heights. Can I prank my way into her heart?
Vernon in Georgia
Dear Vernon,
Well, my fearful friend, have we got a mountain for you! It happens that in the strange but true file we”™ve discovered what just may be the right molehill to meet your needs. It”™s a genuine, certified mountain, reportedly the world”™s shortest peak.
Mt. Wycheproof, a granite outcropping stands 141 ft. above the surrounding outback plain in the Victoria region of Australia. The mountain is said to be five miles shorter than Everest. In comparison, you would be at a greater height crossing some bridges, for example the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, at 186 ft.
There you go. The trip up and down would be a walk in the park, but it would earn bragging rights. Maybe there”™s a rent-a-Sherpa on duty, you could get a picture
Yours truly,
The Fiddler
