Nopony has ever climbed to the summit of Mount Fairweather before.

Fran decides she's going to be the first, even though everypony says that she's crazy to try it.

Many times, modern mountain climbers have scaled a totally new peak for the very first time.

And on the top, is a trig pillar. :trollestia:

Well, first pony to climb the mountain!
Horray!

"Inglourious" is an intentional misspelling in the title of a Tarantino flick. The correct spelling is "inglorious".

Did you make this because you have been struggling with Getting Over It?

Ouch that had to hurt a bit. At least she can claim that she was the first to climb to the top rather then fly up.

Ha! Nice one.

Am I right to suppose the picnic was organised on the top of a cloud and just drifted there? That would be funny if they didn't even realise that there was a mountain and that not-pegasus coud reach up there.

Heh... in Fran's case, I'd be even prouder now. An earth pony ascending to a point deemed accessible only to pegasi? Wow. That family should give a round of high-fives. :derpytongue2:
Best thing about it: she's got witnesses so nobody can claim she didn't make it all the way to the summit :)

I hate when that happens!

Well done Fran, you can be a proud mare nevertheless.

I was waiting for that ending.
Very nice.

Which was clearly put there by the aliens/illuminati/reptilians

That's true--even if she wasn't the first to the peak, she was the first to actually climb it.

I shoulda known that. :derpytongue2: Ah well. Correction made; thank you!

No; I've never played that. I have watched a couple of streamers play it, though (Ryukahr and Grand Poo Bear) so if I ever do play it, I know not to ride the snake.

Yeah--that's maybe not the best claim, but it's a better claim than just flying there, at least amongst the groundponies. The pegasi are probably like "whatever."

I'd assumed that they'd just landed there since it was ground that was close, but it could have been a mistake--their cloud could have gotten caught on a mountaintop without them realizing. That puts a new twist on it.

Fran: "What are you doing on my mountain?"
Pegasus: "Why are you on my cloud?"

Well, I don't know if it was deemed only accessible to pegasi, just that she would be crazy to try and scale the mountain. And really, what's to stop an earth pony from being carried to the top of a mountain by a pegasus? (Well, besides the satisfaction of doing it herself.)

Nonetheless, it is an accomplishment.

Best thing about it: she's got witnesses so nobody can claim she didn't make it all the way to the summit :)

That's very true.

I know, right? Dumb bird-horses.

Well done Fran, you can be a proud mare nevertheless.

Sometimes it's not the destination, it's the journey.

Very nice.

:heart:

"High-fives"? Five what? :derpytongue2:

I can go with a wing slap. :heart:

:rainbowlaugh: (And what an appropriate emoticon that is!)

Wonderfully atmospheric, with a truly fantastic ending. Thank you for it.

I thought the twist would be that Fran would fly away at the end herself.

8656175
Heh, that would be a funny twist.

And then the pegasi offered to glide her down because she was starting to get frostbite and had no more food and was delirious with exhaustion? :twilightsmile:

8669358
I suppose that would be the friendly thing for them to do. I think Fran would be too proud to accept their help, though.

8669823
Agreed, that's why they wait for her to pass out first! :pinkiecrazy:

That got dark really fast. :rainbowlaugh:

Sometimes rescuers have to strategize. 💆

Thank you for watching and have a great day!

Yay, thanks for the review!

And for saying nice things about me. :heart:

Also, Mount Chimborazo in the Andes is the highest point on Earth, even higher than the top of Mt. Everest.

because of the shape of planet?

8676417
Yup. It's furthest from the center of the Earth.

(and tallest base to summit is a Hawaiian volcano, but you've got to wear scuba gear to start the climb)

Occasionally people would climb the mountain and add a stone or two to the cairn at the top,
if only to prove that there is nothing really damn stupid that humans won’t do.

Maybe doing damn stupid things is how we got where we are as a species.

After all, everybody probably looked at the first guy who decided to climb on the back of a horse like he was nuts.

I expect she'd have brought along plenty of supplies and that Earth pony constitution would help her fend off frostbite. More likely, a bunch of pegasi would accompany her on the way down just so they could see how the heck she made it up there in the first place.

And that would be quite an eye-opening experience for them. I bet they don't really think about how hard it is for an earth pony to climb up things. I suppose that's one of the advantages of mixed-tribe towns, schools, and whatnot--everypony learns everypony else's strengths and weaknesses, and hopefully how much better their society works when all the different tribes work together.

Hahaha oh dear. n_n
