I hiked up to Mission Peak this morning with a full backpack for a bit of training before next week-ends over night backpacking trip. I felt great. I didn’t need to adjust my pack the whole hike up. I took the steepest route. 2.9 miles up and a climb of 2,149 ft. I did it in 2:09. My best time ever for that route!
