We did the trek last year with Peru Treks (great company) and I was always the last one to camp. We trained for months beforehand, but nothing can compare. Swollen knees, sore muscles, yuck. However, the views were amazing and I don't regret it :) I totally relate. We did the trek last year with Peru Treks (great company) and I was always the last one to camp.

I've had the privilege of climbing Half Dome in Yosemite twice: a one day 17 mile round-trip hike with a 4,800 feet elevation gain (and drop on the return). About 5-6 miles of that is granite stairs and surprisingly the trip down is much worse than going up. Both times I felt like I almost died, but it has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. So, congrats! Congrats on the climb! I’ve had the privilege of climbing Half Dome in Yosemite twice: a one day 17 mile round-trip hike with a 4,800 feet elevation gain (and drop on the return).
