I can give strategies for getting stronger, but first, try my strategy for not getting demoralized. Before you're painfully out of breath (but not long before), stop and rest. Wait until you catch your breath.

Repeat this until you reach the top.

Others walk up, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.
