[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1962210, member: 115081"] [USER=4225]@Len Backus[/USER], what did you think of the switchbacks leading up to Angels Landing? I tried to prepare for this hike by walking/running six miles a day. Then with a loaded backpack. This regime began about six months before the trip. I went with a college friend in October of 2017. She wanted to tackle Angels Landing the first day. There were guys that looked like they were in better shape than me that had trouble making it up the steep incline of the switchbacks. One man's leg was twitching from the exertion a workout beyond fatigue. For those who are unaware Angels Landing hike has a 1488 ft. change of elevation most of it the first half on the switchbacks from the river. The narrowest part of the trail is at :48 seconds into the video from that narrow 15" is a 1000' or more drop either side. [MEDIA=youtube]jy6K0KoMrco[/MEDIA] We stayed five days. My next trip up there be at least two weeks. [/QUOTE]
