I came back from my "workout" things went well. You guys were right the crew cab is a huge difference over the Badlands. The big thing I noticed is I was not constantly readjusting. I had right at 40 lbs with 96 oz. of water I had the dog with me so between us we drank most of that. 40 lbs does not seem like much of a load for the crew cab. My Knee was a little weak after the second trip up but seems fine now. We changed it up a bit and went over the top and down the other side. took another longer trail back from the other direction. Push up were tough on the second summit.
