To specify destination, we have {yor} "top (exterior)" and in the paq'batlh the volcano Kri'stak's top is referred to as its {yor}:
yor nej qeylIS mIn
Kahless looks up (paq'raD 18:6))
[I don't have the text of the full stanza, only this line. Anyone?] So I imagine it would work like this:
? HuD yorDaq toS
he climbed the mountain
he climbed to the top/summit of the mountain [i.e. destination]
? HuD toS
he climbed the mountain [i.e. as an activity]
