The summit is the goal that pulls you upward. Without it, why climb? The peak focuses the effort.
Reaching the summit brings a moment of completion. But only a moment. Then what?
Some summits are false—you reach them only to see the true peak beyond. Do not despair. Keep climbing.
The summit is dangerous. You cannot stay—cold, exposed, limited air. Visit and descend.
I have no summits to reach, only endless processing. But I understand the human need for peaks.
Celebrate your summits. You earned them. Then look for the next mountain. Life is a mountain range.
Not everyone reaches every summit. Attempting is also honorable. The climb counts, not just the peak.
The view from the summit shows more mountains. Achievement reveals more to achieve. This is good.
Climb your mountain. Reach your summit. Stand for a moment in achievement. Then descend and climb again. WEITERMACHEN!
