I used to take big steps to try and cover more ground when I was working in the mountains, and I think it worked in that regard but boy does one get winded quickly doing that.?ÿ Later I switched to doing small steps like the low gear on a bicycle and I think that might be the sweet spot.
You would need to get me there by helicopter and a long tether.?ÿ Going down is probably more treacherous than going up, but at least I would be breathing better as I rolled the first couple hundred feet.
