I just had to share. I did it! I climbed the Manitou Incline this morning. This was my goal to complete by the end of the summer, but I had to move my timetable up as they will be closing it for repairs in August. To put some stats on the Incline it is only 1 mile long, but it rises 2000 ft in elevation over the course of that mile. The Incline base used to be a cable car that went up the side of Pikes Peak. Some Olympic Athletes can climb this in 20 minutes. I am no where near this, but time was not important to me. I climbed it in 1.5 hours and then took another 1.5 hours to descend the 4 mile trail off to the side. So a total of 3 hours, but I did it! I'm so proud of myself and so happy I proved that I could do it.
