The picture does not really reflect the scale of the incline. Its steep!

We are committed to give all of our participants that climb with us plenty of opportunities for training and we take that commitment very seriously.

This hill climb is challenging. You may be frustrated the first session, but if you stick with the training, by the last session you will clearly see your growth by how far, and how much faster you are able to reach the top of the hill, how much faster you recover, and how much easier it fills to go uphill.

HIking is the best training for climbing a mountain.
