There’s something funny yet rarely talked about when it comes to scaling the peaks and valleys of Mount Kenya… or any mountain, really.
For a moment, nothing and no one exists except you and whoever you’re climbing with.
How are they feeling after that last ascent?
How cold are my fingers?
Did I pack enough layers?
Will night catch us on the trail, or will we make camp in time?
These are the only questions that ring. In those moments, you are fully one with yourself.
We don’t return to these moments often, but when we do, we somehow find the parts of ourselves we lost along the way.
