I am reinstating a previous post :)
A coworker who has climbed Rainier a dozen times mentioned a good yardstick for conditioning includes being able to climb up Mt.Si with a 40 pd backpack in 1:45 mins!.
This is a mountain with elevation gain of 3100ft in approx. 3.5 miles.
So I am having concerns regarding my own conditioning at this point :(

Sowmya, never doubt yourself. With your determination, I am sure you can do anything. Sooner or later you will get there and you have enough time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Prema for your words of encouragement! It means a lot. Nope I am not giving up :)
DeleteLike someone commented on your previous post. Speed is not what matters, in these climbs.
