 @anime_outdoor i'd be nervous about doing it cause i never really did anything with elevation gain.  my state doesn't have mountains. 

 Same, but you won’t know how you handle it until you try 

 @anime_outdoor next time i'm in colorado i'll give it a go.  i'm sure there's a trail near I-70 for clueless retards like me.

Only thing you really need for this is 2L of water and the route photos saved to your phone.
You could do it in sandals
