Sherpa





















For a while I have envisioned this task and today I finally completed it.

Carrying 2 12kg Bells up a "mountain" Farmer's Walk.

The terrain was steep and rocky.

The Distance 3/4 of a mile

Elevation Gain 600 ft. If I did the math right 16% grade.

Overall I felt good I went to rack hold a couple of time for a few seconds to loosen my back.

I took about a 15 minute break then back down.

The return was much easier even on the grip.

Finished it off with 2.5 mile hike without weight but, climbed the mountain on a different steeper route.
