Mountain climbing seems like a bad metaphor because you very much do need to prepare in advance for the whole trek. You won't be able to buy food and a radio once you're already stuck in a cave with no equipment. I don't do mountain climbing and could be completely wrong though.

Maybe a long trek like the El Camino is a better metaphor. The idea is to look just one step in front of you and not think about the entire distance.
