Summit

summit, peak

Mnemonic

You climb a mountain in absolute solitude—no guide, no companion, just you and the howling wind. Step after agonizing step, the air thins and the world shrinks below. Finally, you crest the summit. Standing alone at the peak, the solitude is total; this mountain belongs only to you.
Additional thoughts
Picture yourself gasping for breath at the very top of a jagged peak, utterly alone. The loneliness and the grandeur fuse into one image: solitude IS the summit experience.
Quick recall
Climbing a mountain in complete solitude, you conquer the summit alone.
