As the hike commences, the narrator notes the bag's weight and the initial feelings of exhaustion. However, they remain optimistic, comparing this journey to a reverse trek through the Grand Canyon. As the climb continues, thoughts of the steep elevation begin to surface, particularly how the short distance to the peak translates to significant altitude gain.
