Just heading up the mountain with an empty pack. At the top, I'll fill it with 100# of rocks and head back down. Isn't this training more like what will happen if I shoot a deer after climbing up to find one?

Your parents must never have used that line on you. LOL

ie. Had to walk to school both ways up hill and in 10 feet of snow or some such thing. Just a saying, but it does feel like up hill each way.

Wash it down with a couple beers while sitting in recliner watching sports till the day before the opener then lace up the brand new boots and head out. All that stored ummm "energy" will help get me up the mountain real good! Now where is that cake  :chuckle:

Since he is from Enumclaw, I assume he is referring to Mt. Peak. It's actually a great training hill. Get's pretty busy these days. It's less than a mile, but steep in some spots. There is a trail up from one side and a road up 3/4 on the other side coming in from Mud Mt. Road. The road meets up with the trail. A lot of people go up the trail, down the road and then back. Back when I was in a shape other than round, I would go up and back down in about 30 minutes.

There use to be a fire look out at the top. Pretty good view of the surrounding area.

Lots of couch haters...

Yup it's called Mt Peak.

1.1 miles,1100 ft of elevation gain on the trail side. Same elevation gain but 1.6 miles on the road side.

My time was 41 min up trail side with 100 lbs of sand in my pack.

Actually wasn't too busy last night. It's funny how busy it is right after the first of the year with people trying to do there NY resolutions.

Most are gone after a few weeks, though last year I saw a guy stick with it. Probably weighed 350 when he started, looked like he'd list 75 lbs by summer.
