- !NOTES:Around 1982 Sonny Grant and I (Marty Grant) decided to climb the mountain behind Granny George's house (Della C. Wright Conley George, our great grandmother). This was in Topton, NC.
Sonny was about 15 and I was 14. Our 2nd cousin Russell Lequire, then aged 8 or 9 thought he'd go with us. We didn't think a little kid could climb the mountain but we couldn't talk him out of it. We got really close to the top before we all decided to turn back. We were worried about Russell, but he was as tough as we were. Probably tougher. We all got back unharmed. The next day Sonny and I tried again, but we still didn't make it to the top. Russell didn't go this time. He probably climbed it a dozen times after that, I'd imagine.;
