I would love to expand on this subject and ask EXACTLY what other people are doing.
Hiking, Joe. And more hiking. At this point only hiking. I've been as busy as a one-armed paper-hanger the last few weeks, but have managed to get out to a local mountain 2-3 times per week to concentrate on uphill hiking. When I have time for other stuff, I try to fit it in, but with Whitney about 3 months away hiking uphill comes first. Last Saturday the family and I did 7.5 miles together with about 2000 feet of elevation gain. Did the last hour in the dark using headlamps, which neither my wife nor daughter had ever done before. Good prep for that O'Dark-thirty start . . .
