Shout out to your Sculpt CircHiit instructor, Ellie Kuennen, for completing the Manitou Incline in Colorado Sorings this week! An extreme hiking trail featuring 2,768 steps made of railroad ties, it ascends over 2,000 feet in less than one mile. Known for its steepness, with grades reaching up to 68%, it’s a serious(ly fun) lift!
