Do You Hike Just for the Summit?

In the article ‘5 Training tips to climb Kilimanjaro,’ Daniel
Dorr of Kilimanjaro Adventures has some wise words about training to climb
Mt. Kilimanjaro. He shares a quote,
“enjoy your suffering, that’s what alpinism is all about.” Dorr cautions that
trekkers “can’t spend 7 days climbing a mountain if you only enjoy standing at
the top.”
This advice really hit home. When I was training for my half
marathon I read post after post from non-athletes that wanted to know the bare
minimum training regimen that would help them stand at the finish line of a
race. I want my week on Kilimanjaro to be meaningful, not just the handful of
minutes on the summit.
