An endless climb from "summary" of The Bolivian Diary by Che Guevara
The road goes up and up, without a break, without a moment of respite. Each step is a struggle, each breath a battle against the thin air that surrounds us. The weight of our packs pulls us down, our muscles ache from the constant strain. But still, we press on, one foot in front of the other, determined to reach the summit. The path is rocky and treacherous, with loose stones threatening to send us tumbling down the mountainside at any moment. We must watch our every step, our eyes fixed on the ground in front of us, searching for the safest route through the maze of obstacles. The sun beats down mercilessly, its rays reflecting off the snow-capped peaks in the distance, blinding us with their intensity. As we climb higher, the air grows even thinner, making it difficult to draw breath. Our chests heave with the effort, our lungs burning with the lack of oxygen. We stop frequently to rest, to drink from our canteens, to wipe the sweat from our brow. But we cannot linger for long - the mountain demands our constant attention, our unwavering focus. The higher we climb, the more distant the summit seems. It looms above us like a mirage, shimmering in the heat haze, always just out of reach. We press on, driven by a sense of determination, of stubborn refusal to admit defeat. We know that the only way is up, that we must keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the path may be. And so we climb, our bodies pushed to their limits, our minds consumed with the single-minded goal of reaching the top. The mountain is a cruel mistress, unforgiving and relentless in its demands. But still, we climb, driven by a sense of purpose, of destiny that propels us ever upwards, towards the endless sky.
