I was miserable, but this latest sign had given my spirit a much-needed boost. I was almost at the top. Who cares that my legs were trembling, or that the steps had taken on a severe verti- cality? If I could make it this far, I could finish. One, two, one two, I counted in my head. Every step taken was one closer to the end of this experience. One two, one two.
