Description:

This is a CONDITIONING HIKE and meant to be arduous with a quick pace and weighted packs. We will try to stay as a group, but different personal paces could mean separation; in which case, we will regroup at agreed to locations depending on the hike, the group, and comfort levels.
Hike specifics may change each week (ie: starting trailhead, route, etc)

Meet at the Spencer's butte trailhead. I plan to follow the trail up the "standard" path, back down, up the shorter way, down the standard, up the shorter, then and back to the cars (three summits). I'll update the distance and height once I've added it up. Weighted packs are encouraged. This is a good place to test packs or other new climbing gear.

Trip Report

This week people added more weight to their packs and some were testing out their climbing boots. We certainly felt the third summit and gained about 2400 ft over about 2 hours. Good group.
