Mountain Climbing is a significant motif throughout salvation history, according to this.
My climb up the Croagh Patrick in Ireland certainly bears that out.
At various points I felt united to Christ in the Via Crucis, it became a metaphor for my Grief, and it reminded me very much of a Labyrinth walk. I was climbing St. Patrick's mountain on St. Jospeh's day, thinking very much about St. Peter the Rock, and several other holy men and women.
