    I know it sounds weird, but I'd try to schedule it as an early morning scramble. That way I would have start of day energy.

    Used to hike this mile every year for about 6 years with 2 close friends. I'm literally 11 miles from the NH trailhead. It's a great hike. Usually there's still ice under the boulders in July!

    I wouldn’t call it hard. I’d call it the slowest mile on the trail. But the climb out of the notch, now that was hard.

    • @AdamHoyt
      @AdamHoyt  Рік тому +2

      Some could consider slowest to be hardest to get through. All depends on your definition I suppose.

    • @MnBicycleCommuter
      @MnBicycleCommuter Рік тому +1

      @@AdamHoyt It wasn’t slow because it was hard. It was slow because I couldn’t maintain anywhere near my usual 2.5 mph pace. In fact it was easier because I had to slow down to wind my way through it. It’s all about perception. I didn’t perceive anything hard during that mile.

      @jeffandmaila Рік тому +1

      We didn't think it was the most difficult. I think the difficulty depends on the weather and or how much of the trail you have done before you got there. We thought it was more fun than difficult. And I also filmed it😁
