>>2341307>You didn't do itI did do it, that pic is me on the mountain doing it and before that I have been hiking non glaciated peaks. Granted maybe you live on the east coast/great plains and don't really have mountains and the gym is your only option in that case you're SOL. You could be fit enough to pick up the mountain and hurl it into the sun but if you don't have any experience in that environment it can kill you. A 4 hour hike with elevation gain is better than 4 hours in the gym on the stair stepper especially if your end goal is hiking a mountain.
