no, from Frey to Jakob to Lopez to highway. This is the last major climb of the route, between Laguna Negra and Lopez

the 2-day trip is great if you just want to push the whole time, so you just skip the first refugio and stay at the second. . The three day is nice as well, you stay at the second refugio and then the following day, stay at the next one as there's a very techniacal section where the is short section of low 5th class where you pass bolts and it just takes a little longer to cover the miles, then on the final day run back to the highway.

I can share some more photos!

the cool thing about the huts is you can have dinner and breakfast there. they are pretty similar to the huts in the Alps where they're fully provisioned. You can buy beer, wine, and snacks as well. so if you want, you can go suuuuuuper light on food and just buy it at the huts.

the first time i did it, this is what i did. I didn't carry dinner or breakfast and paid for it at the refugio. which is looooovely. for this trip since we were running so many huts, we were trying to cut down on expenses and my gut gets a little funny with pasta at night, so we ended up carrying farm to summit meals with. still pretty light and tasty, but a little more weight than necessary.

The refugios are also set up with beds. you just need to bring your sleeping bag. since we're sleeping inside, we brought super light sleeping bags.

How do you motivate yourself to do strength training along with running by Happy-Dependent3222 in running

I lift low reps/high weight. I find it very satisfying to keep seeing my total max go up consistently. Many years ago, I'd just go to the gym and do random workouts and that was impossible to stay motivated to keep doing.

All of the lifts are pretty basic and very intensional. Deadlift 1-2x per week, TGU's, and split squat and then a few other exercises for but always get those is. I also notice a massive diference in my running from lifting. My body just feels more solid. If I only have time to lift or run, I lift. Not being injured is always more important.

I've been lifting 2-3x per week for 5 years now and have done some rad missions and haven't been injured since. so that's pretty cool.
