OUTDOOR TIPS
Slow and steady up the mountain
PONGPET MEKLOY
What's the quickest way to climb a steep mountain? The answer: Go slowly.
Why? Well, if you don't trust me, try sprinting up a long steep slope, and you'll soon get out of breath. On the other hand, taking small steps allows you to go on steadily up the mountain without needing to pause too often.
However, rest when you really feel the need to. And don't forget to bring along enough water to avoid dehydration. By the way, if local porters are available in the area, don't be stingy - let them carry your luggage.
