Array data from table view to label - ios

Question

I've got a tableview setup to display data from an sqlite database, now what I am trying to do is setup a view to display further information from said database when the user clicks on a table cell.
From what I've read so far my understanding that this is done mainly in the prepareForSegue method inside the table view's controller?
Anyway, after a lot of googling I've ended up with this from an AppCoda tutorial (link)...
if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"pushToMountainInfo"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
UINavigationController *nav = segue.destinationViewController;
MountainInformation *destViewController = [nav.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
MountainsObject *mountain = [self.mountains objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
destViewController.nameLabel = mountain.name;
NSLog(#"%#", mountain.name);
}
I put the NSLog there to test, and it does output the mountain's name to the log but the label remains blank when I run the app.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks..!

Okay to shorten your code a bit..
if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"pushToMountainInfo"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
MountainInformation *destViewController = [segue destinationViewController];// do this only if your segue is connected to the next one from previous, or else let it stay as you have, only change the later part
MountainsObject *mountain = [self.mountains objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
destViewController.myMountain = mountain.name;
NSLog(#"%#", mountain.name);
}
Now create a property in MountainInformation.h file
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString* myMountain;
Now your property is set to the name you want to set.
Now in viewDidLoad in MountainInformation.m
-(viewDidLoad){
self.labelToShowName.text = self.myMountain;
}
Hope this helps
[EDIT]
In MountainInformation.h Import your mountain class.
#import "MountainObject.h"
Change the property to
#property(nonatomic, strong) MountainObject *selectedMountain
Now in previous view controller.
if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"pushToMountainInfo"]) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
UINavigationController *nav = segue.destinationViewController;
MountainObject *mountain = [self.mountain objectAtIndex.indexPath.row];
destViewController.selectedMountain = mountain;
}
In MountainInformation.h
-viewDidLoad{
NSString *mountainName = self.selectedMountain.name;
NSString *mountainRegion =self.selectedMountain.region;
NSString *mountainHeight =self.selectedMountain.height;
//and other properties. and then you can set it to a single label by using
self.myLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#" Name - %#, Height- %#, Region- %#",mountainName, mountainHeight, mountainRegion];
}
