Years ago I hiked MT. Lincoln in NH. Half way up with a 50lb back pack, the most I could hike is 12 steps at a time. I would stop for 5 minutes then take 12more steps. My friends were not very impressed until we reached our campsite near the peak.....
That's when I broke out the case of beer.
I'd be lucky to make it up Monadnock now a days....
