This is a conditioner for Olympia basic climbing and scrambling students.
Mount Walker is a good hike, but with only 5 miles round trip and 2,000 feet of elevation gain... it's a bit on the short end for a conditioner. So we will do two laps! This will be done at a quick pace, with no breaks, meant for optimal conditioning. We will take a quick breather at the first summit, then head back down. Take a 20-30 minute break at the trail head, then head back up for a second round! Double the summit, double the fun!
This is Nate Brown's mentored lead.
