Each of the ten paths upon a summit trail are distinguished from the next by terrain, topography and elevation. However, the line that demarcates one path from the next is sometimes hard to identify. Nevertheless, the different paths are there.

There comes a time during every ascent when a wayƒarer must stop for repast and repose. The journey on to the summit requires much energy and especially does the High Path and the Summit Path, both which are steep and at much higher elevations than all of those previous ones. Thus, it becomes required to attain that time of rest and repose, which is often done at the place known as the Camp Seven.

Thus, to rest up for that final climb, a wayƒarer will take the short side trail to the camp seven. There, he fires up the stove and in the cook pot makes his Repast. Too, while he is at camp seven and in preparation for the summit, he will refill all of his water bottles

On many a summit, I will arrive at camp seven early on one day, rest that entire day and begin my ascent early the next morning. Some times, when I feel that I am carrying too much in my pantry, I will stay a second day and burn my supplies.
