Tonka, I see you're in Spring Park, so you must be familiar with Mound's spectactular climbing opportunities. I am fortunate enough to live atop one of it's many peaks. Each day I trek down and back up the 12' elevation gain between my house and my garage. For a real challenge you can try the SE approach to Dailey's Pub. It's a 3rd class scramble up about 10 stairs!
Good to know someone else has a sense of humor about our majestic Minnesota ranges.
