Tamjam, I'm really going to hope your post was sarcastic because of all the caps, but for some reason I don't think it was. Thereforce, I'm going to treat it like an idiotic statement.
Seriously, why do the majority of people seem to jump to drugs as the meaning of songs? You were right about one thing, the story isn't just a tale of guy climbing a mountain. There is a metaphor, but it's a personel metaphor for the band. They've said most of it deals with the band's personel journey in the music industry. They did the same thing with the Leviathan album.
Also, you're even more idiotic if you think 10,000 Days was also about drugs. What does 10,000 Days refer to then, 10,000 days of being high? That album was very personel to Maynard, who wrote the title song and "Wings for Marie" about the death of his mother. See, metal bands can write about more things than just drugs.
