Let's stay in shape and make some friends!
Hikers, it's preferable you bring a pack similar in weight and size to what you would bring on a day hike. Backpackers, this is an awesome opportunity to get used to the heavy pack weight! Remember the rule of thumb - maximum pack weight should not exceed 30% of your body weight, and you should build up the weight over a number of weeks .... Runners, you are welcome to join us, although the stairs can be very crowded and are not suitable, the switchbacks / bike path offer an excellent cross training opportunity.
Start at the level you are comfortable with and
work your way up, just remember it's supposed to
be
training so it ought to be a bit tougher to do. There are 120 feet, 167 steps, (~40m) of McHugh's Bluff to climb up.
Route #1:
Route #2:
As is customary, those who wish will head to a pub
after for refreshments; beer, juice or water, it's
up to you! | |||||||
