Manitou Incline

2000 steps, 1 mile, 2000 feet climb starting at 6000 ft elevation.
Accomplished in a little over an hour.
Olympians like Apolo Ohno use this "beast" to train.
"It's the one workout where people truly have to face something that is unbeatable," the speedskater Apolo Ohno said. "It is you against yourself."

Just a couple days before we climbed there was a bear spotted directly on the trail.
We decided to bring bear mace along just in case.
