>>480047>will 15 minute runs prepare me for a 4-8 hour ascent + 3hrs for the descent (depending on the route break time not included ) on steep rocky/sandy terrain. and if go mainstream thats gonna be at night so you can see the sunrise from the summit. children make it, old people make it, you will make it but its gonna be exhausting. at that hight the air gets already lot thinner
like at 12,000ft 61% ~ 3650m ~ summit
this mean you will have only 61% of the air pressure you might be used to. this effect will be compounded that you are unfit.
its not really a hard climb but its no cake walk either, if you are fit and have some exp then its simple as fug.know what to expect.
