Mt. McKinley Routine Part 6

I added another 10 pounds to the pack this morning, amounting to 43 pounds now. I did the 60 flights of stairs in 40 minutes, once again. However, I used the trekking poles from the 24th floor on up. Next time I'll try to get farther up before I have to resort to that crutch.

Just another 20 pounds and I'll be content with the weight and can focus on time; although the time really hasn't been increasing much at all.

So, some buildings decide to pretend not to have a 13th floor, by just skipping it in the numbering. My building has TWO thirteenth floors. Well, one is 13 and the next is 13M. Anyway, that means that I've been climbing 61 floors, not 60, but since I've been using 60 for all of my calculations, I'll just stick with it.
