Their expertise and experience are invaluable in ensuring a successful and safe summit attempt. The final push towards the summit is the culmination of weeks of physical and mental preparation. Climbers must summon their inner strength and determination to overcome the exhaustion and face the daunting challenge of reaching the summit.
