Another Burn

I decided to cut my hike short last night in Palos Verdes. I still made it a hard one, however. I climbed the ladder-like trail back to the trailhead, then dropped back down the main trail for a little more pain. I truly believe in "no pain, no gain." My lower back ached after climbing the ladder. Yeah, that is what I will call that steep climb. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes, I think, to climb the ladder. I need to bring my watch so I can time it and gauge progress.
