I'll be doing hikes likes these on Tues \ Wed \ Thurs depending on the week and work ( check the listings) Rotating Mt. Si \ Mailbox to the bolder field \ Granite Mountain ... etc
Note: Not considered an offical conditioner for scramblers \ climbing
Training for Mount Rainer \ Ecuador-- but I just like hiking to get into condition on the trail rather than the gym. Meaning I may be carry a heavy pack but that doesn't mean you have to -- based on group will change the pace (and my pack).
Willing to pace the hikes accordingly to expectations.
