Brutal ascent but rewards the whole way up with a bench at the end to smoke a fatty 💨.
I walk/hike it down, so the whole way is more like ~5mi.
About to start doing the way down barefoot.
& If I'm not running, I'll do round trip barefoot.

Nice. I like a good climb and smoke break with a view.
I also like to hike barefoot. Grounding feels great. I think there may be a beneficial exchange of bacteria and fungi from barefoot hiking in the woods.
There definitely is an exchange like you're describing & fungi is definitely a conductor of various currents cycling through your body & back down into the earth 🍄🟫.
The foot & toe health benefits are exceptionally underappreciated as well.
Electro sensing socks !
Barefoot 💯
