Mountains

I was scanning through the himalaya studios pages and found myself wondering what exactly made the experience of climbing that popular African mountain such a spectacular feat as the texts would have us believe.
Did it actually consist of hanging from drops by roaps and free climbing small sections of mountainface, or was it actually just a very extended hike up a very big mountain? I've done my share of 'summit-hiking', so I know how spectacular it can feel, but I don't think it's this massive conquering of nature that the description has us believe it is.
