Use of words in passage.

The feeling was ethereal almost unreal. The great height made me feel giddy yet the pure sanctity of the place put my cantankerous mind at peace. At this height, I definitely felt at the top of the world. It was over 5000 feet above sea level and the imperial Mountains made all the vulpine and rabid thoughts in my mind nearly nonexistent.

The glacial slopes of the mighty mountains had many facets to its persona. At times they looked like the jaunty avuncular mentors challenging you to achieve something in life. Sometimes they looked like the cadaverous caves which wait to consume your very spirit.  It made every manifestation of human emotion visible in those towering mountain ranges. Occasionally they looked like huge balls of cotton inviting you to have fun and then there are times when they look like the dark leonine characters from your worst nightmares out there to devour you.
