Ellevated hike - elevation training at Thumb Butte

This is a "chose your own experience" type of hike. My plans are to go up the .6mile, about 560 ft gain switchbacks 3 times, coming back down on different trails. This version would mean 6.2 miles, 1768 ft gain.

These types of inclines are where I struggle with asthma, so I plan on taking it slowly and making sure I can breathe. You can go ahead of me and wait at the top for me, or keep doing your own pace the whole time, but check in with me before you leave, or stick with me. I did the tough uphill in 17 minutes/2.4mph last week. I will accomodate whoever shows up & make sure everyone is off the trails before I leave.
