extasy is being/staying on the summit, isn't it?

there was endless non-culminating extasy waiting for them
keep it as close to the original and in the same time make it sound natural. However, longer sample of the original text would be helpful.
124 days
endless ever-building ecstasy awaited them
Depending on the rest of the context, it might be appropriate to change up the negatives (I think nevrcholici could be construed positively :). And the "e" and "a" sounds have a nice alliteration.
