9.5 complete. .5 short of goal There is more to a realistic austere task than just pushing the body to its max capacity and noting the result. Fitness is only one part while other factors have an effect on overall performance. Three points of contact at all times in order to prevent plummeting to an inconvenient death clearly affects speed; managing grip so as to prevent blood blisters from both forming and popping is necessary maintenance and taking a second at the summit in order to note the requisite 360 degree view. A double under hand grip was used on the ascent while a double overhand grip was used on the descent. Each round trip took about three minutes. The most notable quality of this routine is the prospect of succumbing to fatigue and the subsequent gravitational attraction between body and earth. Adding the prospect of negligent expiration to training has a palpable effect.
