[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1954463, member: 115081"] Three years ago I trained by hiking with a weighted backpack until I got up to 50 pounds. A college friend and I were going to Zion National Park. We heard the most challenging hike there was Angels Landing. We saw video of the last part of the hike not the first. The elevation change is 1488'. I thought I trained enough for this hike as I was able to do the six miles or more with the weighted backpack. As you can see by the image the switchback has a steep incline. Believe me its tougher than it looks. The last leg of the hike has a sheer drop of 1000' or more either side of the trail. Five people have died on the Angels Landing trail. What I wasn't able to train for was the change in elevation. [/QUOTE]
