I just started the Advanced Rock Alpinist program and have an upcoming Hike for Vetical Meters workout. This is pretty simple if I am doing laps on stairs or a short hill, but if climbing a single long slope for the prescribed time, should that time be inclusive or exclusive of descent?

The vertical meters in the plan is referring to meters GAINED. So whether you do them in one long climb, or many short climbs, the meters going UP are the ones we’re looking for.
