Scaling the peak is dependent on causes, which are gathered in many previous lives. The way I see it, the more wholesome sanskaras I put into my consciousness-continuum, the better my vasanas. The more stable my vasanas (of discipline, mindfulness, empathy, patience, enthusiasm, detachment) the quicker the success I'll have in a future incarnation when I inevitably commit everything to climbing the peak!

But the struggle for all of us is ensuring that we actually make consistent progress toward accumulating the virtue/punya. It's easy to be conditioned into the opposite!
